It has been reported that metabolic rates of striped bass
Standard metabolic rates of oxygen consumption are 69±4.1 and 68±3.5 mg
O2/kg3/4 bw/h. Routine metabolic rates were 132±30 and 125±30 mg O2/kg3/4 bw/h
. feeding activity generally resulted in increased oxygen consumption by the
fish. striped bass hemoglobin values tended to be higher in brackish water
than in freshwater, Based on these results, hybrid striped bass may be
capable of directing more energy towards growth than striped bass due to
more efficient oxidative metabolism and lower losses of energy related to
increased stress.
