The Production and Comparative Growth of Three Buffalo Hybrids

Hybrids were produced by crossing the black, smallmouth, and bigmouth buffalo fishes. Growth-rate data for a two-year period are presented. The black x bigmouth individuals showed a pronounced acceleration of growth over that of the other hybrids and their parent spedes.
