Addendum to the 2012 COSEWIC Status Report on the Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis, St. Lawrence River population, in Canada.: CW69-14/665-2019E-PDF
"This large-bodied fish was a highly prized commercial and sport fish in the St. Lawrence River. This population was one of three in Canada. Unlike the other two populations that still exist, fish from the St. Lawrence River population have not been caught since 1968 despite extensive scientific, recreational and commercial sampling. In 2002, fish from another population (originating from the Miramichi River) began to be stocked in the St. Lawrence River and, as the key historical threats in the St. Lawrence River had decreased, these fish established a self-reproducing population. Because these newly established fish were from another population, they are not considered to be part of the original St. Lawrence River population. The original St. Lawrence River population no longer exists"--Assessment Summary, page iii.
