Re: Maybe this could be done in our area striped bass farm
meh.. I doubt it would be cost effective to start an operation such as that... Hybrid Striper/White bass are widely cultivated for food already in the US, and are being produced at about 10 million pounds a year. North Carolina alone has 14 aquaculture farms producing hybrids.. I saw them on ice for sale at the local Wegmans here in Ithaca..... It would cost millions to set up an operation like that at sea for Stripers,, I doubt they would ever make their money back unless all of a sudden people started going insane over raw Striped bass sliced razor thin and dipped in soy sauce/wasabi at $150 for a 2 ounce serving.. Could happen I suppose, but I like to think people aren't that stupid... bob
