To optimize spat stocking rates for Pacific calico scallop (PCS, Argopecten ventricosus) during nursery culture, two consecutive 8-week trials were conducted to evaluate growth in land-based downweller and upweller systems. Four stocking rates (60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% of silo bottom coverage) of spat at 3.83 ± 0.10 mm in shell height were tested in the downweller system, whereas three stocking rates (50%, 70%, and 90% of silo b...

The sciaenid white seabass ( Atractoscion nobilis ) is stocked in California (U.S.) where it supports commercial and recreational marine fisheries. Despite its importance, age and growth remains incompletely understood (e.g., differences between females and males) and has not been validated using known‐age fish. In this study, the sectioned sagittal otoliths of 196 hatchery‐reared white seabass were analysed. These known‐age f...

To advance environmentally friendly technologies in the aquaculture of Atractoscion nobilis, and simultaneously to diversify seafood production, a 79-day trial was conducted to assess the performance of Ulva lactuca and Devaleraea mollis cultured in the effluent from A. nobilis in a land-based integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) system in southern California, USA. Water quality and performance of macroalgae were measur...
