Abstract:

Striped bass populations, once abundant in the Albemarle Sound, have dwindled over the years, affecting commercial and recreational fishermen. Among the factors contributing to the decline are the Roanoke River dams, poor egg survival, poor fry survival, and overharvesting of the spawning stock.
