Description:
Also known as bass, rockfish, striper, and linesider, the striped bass are seasonally fished along the east coast of the U.S. True to their name, they are marked with long horizontal dark stripes that run from behind their gills to the base of their tail.
Habitat:
Striped bass begin their life in the St. Lawerence River and its tributaries before venturing out to the coastal regions of the Atlantic Ocean. They will venture as far as the Gulf of Mexico before traveling back up the coast to spawn.
Harvesting:
Our striped bass is wild-caught by small boats along the coast of Massachusetts. They are sustainably harvested to maintain a consistent population along the coast of the U.S. This has reduced harvesting and limited supply, especially this year.
