Striped bass
collected from the monitoring sites are measured and weighed on a Limnoterra
FMB IV electronic fish measuring board interfaced with a Mettler PM 30000-K
electronic balance. The board records lengths (FL and TL) to the nearest mm,
receives weight (g) input from the balance, and allows manual input of sex and
gonad maturity into a data file for subsequent analysis. Scales were collected
from between the spinous and soft dorsal fins above the lateral line for
subsequent aging, using the method established by Merriman (1941), except that
impressions made in acetate sheets replaced the glass slide and acetone.
The most recent monitoring report available is
Part I. of the 2006 Striped Bass Annual report in pdf
