Unlocking the Potential of Hybrid Striped Bass: Newalla’s Economically Efficient Pond Stocking

When it comes to pond stocking, there's a new player in town that's making a splash: the Newalla pond-ready hybrid striped bass. This unique fish, a cross between the striped bass and white bass that is tempered for pond life, is not just a delight for fishing enthusiasts but is also transforming the landscape of aquaculture in the United States and beyond. Traditional hybrid striped bass production is rapidly expanding, with its annual production in the U.S. escalating from about 400,000 pounds in 1987 to about 10.6 million pounds in 2001​1​. But pond-ready production only occurs here in Oklahoma, production is limited, but growing.

At Newalla Fish Company, we are at the forefront of this revolution, offering pond-ready hybrid striped bass that are fit, healthy, disease-free and ready to thrive in your private waters. We have redefined the norms of pond stocking, championing a strategy that prioritizes quality over quantity.

The Newalla Difference: Quality Over Quantity

Traditional pond stocking practices often involve stocking large numbers of fish per acre – around 200 or more – to account for potential losses. However, we at Newalla Fish Company have demonstrated that stocking only 100 hybrid striped bass per acre works exceptionally well.

Why? Our fish are pond-ready. Unlike hybrids from other sources, our hybrid striped bass are robust and tempered to be ready for the rigors of life in your pond. This means you do not need to account for losses. Our fish are bred and conditioned to survive and thrive in your pond, and we have the success rates to prove it.

The Economic and Pond Management Benefits

When you choose to stock our pond-ready hybrid striped bass, you're not just making a choice that's good for your pond; you're also making a decision that's great for your wallet. Here are a couple of compelling reasons why:

  1. Cost Savings: By stocking only the necessary numbers, you save money on the cost of the fish themselves and also on the cost of delivery. There's no need to pay for fish that won't survive, and there's no need to pay for the high rates for delivery in an enormous truck required to carry all of the extra fish.
  2. Avoid Overstocking: Overstocking a pond can lead to numerous problems, including stunted growth of fish, insufficient food supply, and potential disease outbreaks. By stocking only the necessary numbers, you avoid these issues and promote a healthier pond environment.
  3. Effective Pond Management: Stocking the right number of fish helps maintain a balanced ecosystem in your pond. It aids in controlling the population of other species and promotes a healthy growth rate for all the species that inhabit the water.

Researchers and Extension personnel from NC State University are leading a national effort to enhance the current and future status of the Striped Bass/Hybrid Striped Bass aquaculture industry in the U.S. This initiative, called StriperHub, consolidates and streamlines striped bass commercialization efforts, further attesting to the growth and importance of this industry​2​.

Our Story

Our aim is to bring pond owners an exciting fish experience. We try not to compete with the large fish companies that produce volumes of traditional species. Rather, we carry the most difficult to find sport fish and the products most helpful to grow them large and healthy, even in the smallest ponds. Our customers enjoy lasting communication for success.

Our stocking strategy is a bit different. Before we show up, we’ll discuss your pond with you and pull it up on the map. We use geo-spatial data analysis to develop a pond-specific plan to ensure you don’t overstock your pond. This analysis provides an accurate number of fish based of your pond or lakes' capacity and allows us to develop recommendations for stocking, feed and the most effective water management for your pond. Some of our recommendations will include:

  • Capacity based supplemental stocking of predators and feed fish proportionate to your pond or lake’s size
  • Feed plans
  • Use chemical-free methods to reduce suspended mud particles (Common problem in Oklahoma)
  • Installation of solar and electric continuous duty aeration systems
