In the present study, Black bass (Micropterus salmoides Lacépède 1802) reproduction aspects in ponds were studied during the 2015 seasons in Deroua fisheries farm (Morocco). The breeding season was in late February at a water temperature of 16°C and this ended in early May at a temperature of 27°C. This study investigated mainly the effect of stocking density on fingerling production. Pairs of male and female brood fish were stocked in the spawning ponds at densities of 1, 2 and 0.75 pairs/100 m². Fingerling production was highly affected by the brood fish stocking densities and the means were 11.06, 7.61 and 4.66 fingerling /pair/m² respectively.
