Striped Bass
The Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) is a member of the temperate Bass family native to North America, and is primarily a food and game fish chiefly of coastal waters.

Their natural distribution is from the St. Lawrence River into the Gulf of Mexico to approximately Louisiana.
Striped bass have also been introduced into many of the large reservoir impoundments across the United States by state game and fish commissions for the purposes of recreational fishing and as a predator to control populations of gizzard shad. Striped bass are occasionally found in landlocked bodies of water. They can live exclusively in freshwater and
currently flourish in inland water bodies
such as Lake Murray, Lake Powell,
Lake Havasu, Lake Texoma and Lake
Mead.

For saltwater striped bass, four important
bodies of water with breeding stocks of
striped bass are: Chesapeake Bay,
Massachusetts Bay/Cape Cod,
Hudson River and Delaware River. There are many smaller breeding areas that contribute to the overall striped bass population such as the Takanasse Lake.
