Re: How long do hybrid striped bass live?

Will get some info and post. I think the reference to 30 years was in error and should have stated Striped Bass not HSB.
IIRC the max life span is 8 years. We all know that stress effects longevity. If any of the common pond stressors (like what you listed) is severe and long term fish will suffer.
From SRAC (university fishery scientists) Fact Sheet 300
Hybrid striped bass grow when water temperatures are above 15° C. However, optimum growing conditions occur when water temperatures are 25 to 27 C. Hybrids grow rapidly during their first two years of life. Growth to 275 to 375 mm in length and 225 to 350 grams in the first year and 450 to 550 mm in length and 1 to 1.5 kg in the second year is common. Growth rate declines rapidly with increasing age and is similar in males and females. Maximum reported weight for a hybrid striped bass is approximately 10 kg. The typical size of hybrids caught by fishermen generally ranges from 2 to 5 pounds, but fish in the 10 to 15 pound range are not uncommon. The usual life span of hybrid striped bass is 5 to 6 years-- more similar to white bass than to striped bass (30 to 40 years).
