Popis:	The effect of pond size on survival and growth of fingerling striped bass Morone saxatilis in brackish-water (5–10‰) ponds may be important in designing striped bass production facilities. Seven-day-old fry were stocked at densities of 248,000–317,000 fish/ha into 13 ponds (0.2–1.6 ha), and surviving fish were harvested about 1 month later. Pond size did not affect striped bass survival, growth, or production. Mean (±SE) survival over the rearing period was 36.4 ± 5.6%. Mean total length (TL) was 34.2 ± 0.9 mm. Mean production was 1.40 ± 0.17 kg·ha−1·d−1. Large ponds (at least 1.6 ha) are preferable over smaller ponds for producing 34-mm-TL striped bass fingerlings in brackish-water ponds because of the lower cost of construction and maintenance and the reduced land and water use.
