The cage culture of some marine fishes in the intake and discharge canals of a steam-electric generating station, Galveston Bay, Texas.

Abstract

Croaker (Micropogon undulatus), pinfish larsodon (rhomboides), pompano (Trachinotus carolinus), white mullet (Mugil curema), pigfish (Orthopristis chrysoptera), Gulf kingfish (Menticirrhus littoralis), silver perch (Bairdiella chrysura), spot (Leiostomus xanthurus), and black drum (Pogonias cromis) were stocked in cages in the intake canal, and croaker, pinfish, and pompano were stocked in cages in the discharge canal of the P. H. Robinson Generating Station on Galveston Bay, Texas, to determine survival, food conservation, length-weight relationship, condition, and growth.
