Species Information
Scientific Name: Morone saxatilis
Size: Striped bass have a fairly long life, up to 30 years. Their growth depends on where they live. Larger striped bass grow to about 5 feet in length and 55 to 77 pounds.
Location & Habitat: Striped bass live along the East Coast from the St. Lawrence River in Canada to St. John’s River in Florida, and in the Gulf of Mexico from Florida to Louisiana. They were also introduced to inland lakes and reservoirs and to the West Coast, where they’re now found from Mexico to British Columbia.
Description: Striped bass have stout bodies with seven to eight continuous horizontal stripes on each side of the body, from their gills to their tail. Their coloring can be light green, olive, steel blue, black, or brown, with a white or silver iridescent underside.
Striped bass are both wild-caught and farm-raised. Wild striped bass, often called striper or rockfish, are caught along the East Coast. Most farmed striped bass are actually hybrids, a cross between striped bass and white bass. Both wild-caught and farmed striped bass have a slightly sweet flavor.
The striped bass has an elongate, compressed body and a relatively small head with an acute snout and a large, gaping mouth. Maximum body depth goes three or more times into standard length. The first dorsal fin has nine spines, the second fin has one spine and 12 soft rays. The front of the anal fin has three spines that are graduated in length. Two elongate median tooth patches are located on the back of the tongue. The lateral line is complete, with 57 to 68 scales. The back is dark gray to green: the sides are light green grading to silver with several continuous black stripes, and the venter is white to cream. Young striped bass have dusky vertical bars along the sides of the body.
