Popis: Studies were conducted to evaluate foods for fry of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) in earthen ponds and outdoor tanks. Fry grew rapidly (more than 100 mg in 4 weeks) in both ponds and tanks when suitable food was available. Live Daphnia magna and D. pulex were excellent food sources. A commercial fry feed for trout and a mixed culture of rotifers and wild Moina sp. also produced acceptable growth. Despite the fact that a considerable amount of phytoplankton was found in the stomach contents, phytoplankton alone did not appear to be a suitable diet for shad fry.
