Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) from the Gulf of St. Lawrence / by G.J. Chaput and R.G. Randall. : Fs70-8/90-71E-PDF

"A review of striped bass biology and exploitation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence is presented. The southern Gulf of St. Lawrence represents northern limit of its distribution. Striped bass have been reported from a large number of rivers and coastal areas throughout the southern Gulf as bycatch in gaspereau and smelt fisheries and in recreational fisheries. Spawning of striped bass has been documented in two New Brunswick rivers and bass overwinter in Gulf rivers. Annual harvest of striped bass in Atlantic Canada from commercial gear has generally been less than 20 tons; maximum reported harvest was in 1917 at 65 tons. Landings of striped bass from the southern Gulf have averaged 13 tons since 1968, ranging between 2 and 48 tons. Potential production of striped bass in the Gulf is unknown and the population appears to be sustained at a low level"--Abstract, page 2.
