Striped bass stocking programs in the United States : ecological and resource management issues / Roger A. Rulifson, R. Wilson Laney.Fs70-1/1999-07E-PDF

The 100+-year -old practice of cross-stocking young and adults, and the continued practice of cross-stocking at the state level, have resulted in the introgression of non-endemic genetic strains to many striped bass populations along the east and Gulf coasts. Effects of this long-standing practice remain undocumented and unquantified. This manuscript documents the use of these strains for population rebuilding and maintenance programs, and addresses issues concerning survival of stocked fish, implications of ecological compatibility of cross-stocked fish, and management problems associated with these issues.
