Techniques are described to intensively rear larval sunshine bass, the hybrid of female white bass Morone chrysops and male striped bass M. saxatilis. Cumulative survival from age 3-46 d was approximately 38%, which is comparable to that of extensive pond culture systems. The intensive tank culture techniques, when coupled with controlled spawning of domesticated broodstocks, should allow year-round production of juveniles for use in the expanding hybrid striped bass aquaculture industry.
