Survival and Growth of Red Drum Sciaenops ocellatus in Saline Groundwaters of West Texas, USA
Abstract.— West Texas saline groundwaters were assessed as potential media for culturing red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus . In 30‐d bioassays with juvenile red drum (0.4–3.0 g), highest survival was 85% in a 5‐ppt (parts per thousand = g/L) salinity, high‐sulfate (1,723 mg/L SO 4 ‐2 ), high‐calcium (42...
