The effect of stocking density on growth, survival rate of red drum was examined in two-phase experiments. In phase 1 which lasted for 30 days, newly hatched larvae were stocked at the densities of 20, 30, 40, and 50 inds/l. Results showed that the stocking density affected the growth and survival rate of Red drum larvae (p < 0.05). The growth and survival rate were lowest at the density of 50 inds/l, and no difference in the growth and survival rate was found in among the groups 20, 30, and 40 inds/l. In phase 2: Fingerlings of Red drum with the total length (TL) of 21.9 mm and body weight (BW) of 0.14 g were nursed for 28 days at densities of 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 inds/l. Results showed that the stocking density also affected the growth and survival rate of Red drum fingerlings (p < 0.05), and the stocking density at 3.5 inds/l was considered the best.
