Thought this was intresting. In other business, the Commission accepted a donation of $2,000 from the Oklahoma Striper Association. The funds will be used to purchase striped bass hybrids that will be used for a research project. These donations will be matched with federal Sportfish Restoration funds for a total project budget of $8,000.
The donations will fund a special reciprocal striped bass hybrid stocking at Kaw Lake near Ponca City. Reciprocal striped bass hybrids are a cross between a male striped bass and a female white bass, opposite of a typical striped bass hybrid. Initial studies in other states have indicated that these reciprocal hybrids stay in the lake they are stocked in longer and do not have the same propensity to travel downstream after flood events as the conventional striped bass hybrids . Fisheries biologists will be tracking the movements of these reciprocal hybrids in Kaw Lake.
The Oklahoma Striper Association has been a longstanding supporter of the Wildlife Department's efforts to improve fishing in the state. Recent donations include a truck-mounted water tank used to haul striper brood stock from the lake to the hatchery where their eggs can be gathered and cultivated in hatchery ponds. A large disk used to work the ground of dry hatchery ponds, plankton nets and a dissolved oxygen meter to monitor water quality have also been donated by the Association for use at Department hatcheries.

Very interesting......I thought a female white bass and a male striped bass hybrid offspring was called a "sunshine bass" vs a "palmetto bass" when the female is a striped bass.

R. E. Stevens produced the first hybrids between female striped bass and male white bass in South Carolina in 1965. This "original" cross is known as a palmetto bass.
The "reciprocal" cross, which is also known as the sunshine bass was first cultured by Bayless in 1966.
The "original" cross was produced using female striped bass and male white bass. It was thought initially that this would be the only viable cross because the larger striped bass egg could accomodate the smaller white bass sperm. This turned out to be untrue when the "reciprocal" cross (male striped bass and female white bass) was produced and found to be just as viable.
Eventually, many states and aquaculture facilities found the sunshine bass to be easier to produce because it was found to be much more practical to keep domestic female white bass year around in tanks than it was to keep domestic female stripers because of their large size.
I've seen no studies which positively prove superiority of one cross over the other although I know it's considerably cheaper most of the time to produce sunshine bass because of greater availability of female white bass over female striped bass.
