Abstract:

Twelve years ago, using N.C. Sea Grant research, Lee Brothers of Aurora became the first person in the nation to pond-raise hybrid sea bass commercially. The fish, a cross between a striped bass and a white fish, generates around $3.5 million annually in the state. Brothers now markets about a million pounds of fish yearly.
