Their work has been supported by Sea Grant, the National Coastal Resources Research and Development Institute, and the Agricultural Research Service. Meanwhile, because striped bass females spawn for the first time when they are about 5 years old, it takes longer to develop a stock of sexually mature fish that can be used in experiments. "It may take another five years before we can close the loop," Hodson says. "That's when we'll be able to say to the farmer out there: 'Here's the way to do it.'" Hodson and Sullivan are hoping farmers involved in hybrid striped bass production will continue their own brand of hands-on research. "These farmers are impatient," he says. "They'll be working on developing their own ways of domesticating ; For example, Lee Brothers developed a hatchery and spawned a few fish this year. "We had some success, but we realize it's a slow process," Brothers says. "We'll keep working on ; Hodson says there's a difference in. Edgerton.
