The Oxygen consumption of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops ♀ M. saxatilis ♂) was measured in relation to water temperature, salinity and photoperiod changes. Fish (574.0101.3 g) was individually exercised in a chamber for 24 h at 2$0^{\circ}C$, 24$^{\circ}C$ and 28$^{\circ}C$ with two salinity conditions (0 and 33 psu). Stepwise, the increase of water temperature induced a strong increase of the oxygen consumption. Salinity and photoperiod had an influence on the oxygen consumption of hybrid striped bass, even though there was not a consistent tendency between those.

We investigated physiological responses of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops ${\times}$ M. saxatilis) to gradual changes of salinity from 33 psu to 0 psu and from 0 psu to 33 psu in two separate trials. Gradual salinity change was not accompanied by an increase in cortisol level in the plasma however, the glucose level in the plasma increased. $Na^{+}$, $Cl^{-}$ and osmolality significantly increased with rising salinity, but they did not change with dropping salinity. The hybrid striped bass adjusted effectively without stress to the gentle change of salinity.

Physiological responses and tolerance limit of hybrid striped bass $(Morone\;Chrysops\;male{\times}\;M.\;saxatilis\;female),$ were investigated on salinity changes from 33 psu to 0 psu and from 0 to psu 33 psu in two separate trials, respectively. In the acute salinity decrease from sea water (33 psu) to fresh water (0 psu), plasma level of cortisol, glucose, total protein, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were not affected, however, $Na^+,\;Cl^-$ and osmolality significantly decreased. In the acute salinity increase from fresh water to sea water (33 psu), plasma cortisol level did not change. Glucose and total protein concentrations in plasma and hematocrit (Hct) decreased, whereas AST, ALT, $Na^+,\;Cl^-$ and osmolality increased. The hybrid striped bass can overcome the acute changes of salinity, from 0 psu to 33 psu or from 33 psu to 0 psu, But salinity decrease stressed the fish much more than salinity increase.

Four chemical treatments with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), copper sulfate (CuSO₄), potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) and chlorine (Cl₂) were applied to the effluent pond water of a hybrid striped bass saltwater recirculating aquaculture system to compare their oxidation power. Four chemicals were applied at concentrations of 0 (control), 1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/l. An additional concentration of 40 mg/l was included in the chlorine treatment. Water samples from four hybrid striped bass ponds were tested with KMnO₄ and Cl₂. H₂O₂ did not reduce any of BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a, and copper sulfate was only effective on chlorophyll-a for the effluent pond. Removal efficiencies for chlorophyll-a by copper sulfate were 19.2%, 37.5%, 54.2% and 74.1% dose-dependently. Potassium permanganate effectively removed the BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a. The COD removal rates in four fish ponds varied from 15.9% to 31.6% at the concentration of 10 mg/l. Interestingly, Cl₂ did not reduce the BOD and COD at all, but the BOD and COD instead increased drastically with increasing the Cl₂ concentration. The pond water with the highest initial BOD and COD values among the fish ponds tested increased by 350% in the BOD and 150% in the COD at 20 mg/l. Furthermore, Cl₂ did not significantly reduce any types of solid matter in this study, while KMnO₄ seemed to reduce some extent volatile dissolved solid in the fish pond.
