Abstract:

The striped bass is to the fishermen of the coast what the trout is to the mountain stream angler - a worthy opponent. The fish once lived in coastal rivers, including the Roanoke, in tremendous numbers. However, water pollution and exploitation of natural resources have reduced it to a fraction of its former abundance. Cornell discusses its habitat and life history and importance to commercial and sport fishermen.
