Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Sunshine bass are a hybrid produced by crossing white bass females and striped bass males. These hybrids are an important food fish in the US. The average production cycle for this species can range up to 20 months to reach a marketable size. As with many commercially produced aquaculture species, controlling reproduction can be important to optimize growth and energy allocation efficiency. Triploidization is an effective method for production of sterile fishes. This project aims to evaluate two triploid induction methods that have been used successfully with other commercial aquaculture species. We will discuss methods using temperature or pressure shock to produce these fish.
