Description

The striped bass (Morone saxatilis), also called Atlantic striped bass, striper, linesider, pimpfish, rock, or rockfish, is the state fish of Maryland, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and the state saltwater (marine) fish of New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and New Hampshire. They are also found in the Minas Basin, Gaspereau River, and Northumberland Strait in Nova Scotia, Canada and the Miramichi River and Saint John River in New Brunswick, Canada. The history of the striped bass fishery in North America dates all the way back to the Colonial period. There are many written accounts by some of the first European settlers describing the immense abundance of striped bass along with alewives traveling and spawning up most rivers in the coastal Northeast.
