Instead of having this lost in the thread about raising striped bass, I though it deserved its own space. There are several states that raise flounder for research and release into the wild with videos to explain some of what they are doing. The Texas Sea Center in Lake Jackson is one of those hatcheries. Will hatcheries help our fluke production, probably not. The logistics and expenses are way too prohibitive. We have to protect the natural reproduction of the fluke and the more everyone knows about it, the better it is to argue and fight to improve the regulations.
Just to reemphasize the complicated procedures for raising summer flounder, this video of a seminar about development, commercial harvesting, growth rates etc. for southern and summer flounder is worth watching and listening.
