Experimental mass-rearing of the mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis.
A solar heated, closed-system, intensive culture facility for mass-rearing of Gambusia affinis is described. The results of fry production experiments and short-term growth rate experiments are presented and interpreted to indicate that operational fish production at or below the goal of $16.50/kg will not be easily reached.
