The Growth And Survival Of Juvenile Black Sea Bass, "Centropristis Striata," On An Artificial (Salmon Chow) Versus A Natural (Grass Shrimp) Diet

This study examines the growth of juvenile black sea bass "Centropristis striata" when fed the optimum diet of salmon chow versus a more natural diet consisting of live shrimp. The grass shrimp ("Paleamonetes pugio") is a common salt- marsh crustacean that is abundant enough to be used as food source for the developing black sea bass aquaculture industry.
