Striped Bass

Striped bass, also known as stripers, are a popular saltwater fish found along the Atlantic coast and in some freshwater systems. They are known for their distinctive horizontal black stripes running along their silvery bodies. These fish are highly valued for sport and culinary purposes due to their impressive size, strong fighting ability, and tasty flesh. They are carnivorous, feeding mainly on smaller fish and invertebrates. Striped bass migrate seasonally, moving from estuaries and coastal waters into rivers to spawn, making them an important species for both ecosystems and recreational fisheries.
