White Seabass Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute delivered close to 11,000 juvenile white seabass to our San Diego Bay grow-out facility last week. The fingerlings will be raised by SDOF volunteers for approximately 4 months and then released into the wild for hopes of survivorship. To learn more about this restoration project or how to become a volunteer please visit our website.
