Abstract: The intensive culture and live bait potential of a topminnow ( Poecilia vittata ) and shortfin molly ( P. mexicana ) was investigated in Hawaii, American Samoa, and Palau. Although these baitfishes are unusually hardy, problems were encountered during their culture, handling shipboard confinement, and use as live bait for skipjack tuna ( Katsuwonus pelamis ). Principal problems included predation, fouling and nuisance organisms, disease and parasites, cannibalism, slow growth rates, poor water quality, and difficulties during handling and transportation.
