This book was released on 2016 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Albemarle/Roanoke stock makes up the largest contingent of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) in the state; however, other economically important populations exist elsewhere. The Central Southern Management Area (CSMA) is one such region. Striped Bass populations are sustained in the CSMA through stocking by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), but the goal of the fishery management plan is to establish a self-sustaining spawning population of Striped Bass in the region. In order to improve management of the CSMA Striped Bass population, maturation and fecundity estimates are needed for stock assessment models. Striped Bass were sampled on and near the spawning grounds in the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico rivers during the pre-spawn, spawning, and post-spawn period (February-June). Each fish was measured (fork length and total length, mm) and weighed (g). Otoliths were removed for ageing and otolith chemistry. Sex was determined, and gonads were removed and weighed to determine the GSI and phase of reproduction. LSI and K factors were used to assess the condition of fish. Otoliths were sectioned for age, and then examined by LA-ICPMS to determine changes in concentrations of Strontium in the first year of life to determine origin. The age at 50% maturity was 2.67 years; by Age 3 98.2% of female Striped Bass were sexually mature. CSMA Striped Bass matured 0.5 years earlier compared to the ASMA/RRMA population. Fecundity ranged from 223,110 eggs for an Age-3 female to 3,273,206 eggs for an Age-10 female (Mean=769,048.54; SE=54,047.42; n=87). Fish in the CSMA produced more eggs than ASMA/RRMA Striped Bass when compared by age. Observed lengths at age were significantly different between the CSMA and ASMA/RRMA females (F=978.92; DF=1; p

This book was released on 2013 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Striped bass (Morone saxatilis) is an important commercial and game fish throughout North Carolina coastal waters. These fish have spawning populations present in all of the state's coastal rivers, however populations south of the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina have rarely been studied. These populations lie within North Carolina's immense Central Southern Management Area (CSMA). The CSMA stretches from the northernmost point of Pamlico Sound in the north down to the South Carolina border in the south. There are three main watersheds in the CSMA: the Tar/Pamlico River, the Neuse River, and the Cape Fear River. These rivers have spawning populations of striped bass, yet very few age 0 fish have been collected to support this in recent years. My study investigated the natal origin of CSMA striped bass through the use of water and otolith elemental analyses. Surface water samples and environmental data were collected once per month from 15 sample sites throughout the CSMA from May 2011 to July 2012. Two additional sample ponds from Edenton National Fish Hatchery were sampled once per week for two weeks in April 2012. Samples were analyzed for concentrations of calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), barium (Ba), and manganese (Mn) using an inductively-coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. Concentrations were recorded as element to Ca ratios to account for the role of Ca in otolith deposition. Salinity differed significantly by location, while temperature and dissolved oxygen differed significantly by month and season. Only temperature differed significantly by year. All measured elements were consistently detected at every sample site. All measured elements differed significantly by location, but only Mn differd by month, season, and year. A multivariate classification of samples to their river of origin yielded only 42% success. When the classification was narrowed to include only one low salinity sample site per river, samples were classified to their sample site of origin with 82% accuracy. Fish (N=251) were collected from the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico rivers from April 2011 to April 2012. Fish total length (TL), total weight (TW), gonad weight, and liver weight were collected to calculate relative weight (Wr), liver somatic index (LSI), and gonadal somatic index (GSI). Otoliths were removed for ageing and elemental analysis. Elemental analysis was conducted by measuring concentrations of Sr, Mg, Mn, and Ba in the natal origin region of the otolith using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). Condition of fish collected in the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico was sub-optimal. Fish GSI follow predictable yearly cycles, but were maturing a full year earlier than Roanoke River striped bass. Using the Sr signature from otolith elemental analysis, 88.4% of fish originated from the hatchery. Fish determined to be of natural origin were classified to their river of origin with 58.0% accuracy, and to their management area of origin with 84.0% accuracy. This study suggests that striped bass has become a put and take fishery in the Neuse and Tar/Pamlico rivers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From legendary fisherman and outdoors writer Nick Kara comes a comprehensive look at every aspect of the striped bass. It’s essential reading for beginners and anyone whose spent a lifetime casting for stripers. Striped bass - in fresh and salt water - are one of the world's greatest gamefish, and The Complete Book of Striped Bass Fishing is the fullest, most authoritative, most helpful book ever written on the species. Nick Karas, one of the world's great experts on the striped bass, offers proven techniques for more successful fishing. He details fishing from the surf; from boats; from bank, pier, jetty, and bridge - with all kinds of tackle and methods. And he takes an especially careful look at the growing popularity of fly rodding for stripers, fishing at night, and even how to catch striped bass in fresh water. An entire section of the book is devoted to tackle - where he takes a thorough look at the best rods, reels, lines, hooks, live and natural baits, artificial lures, accessory equipment of all kinds, bass boats, and the most innovative and practical beach vehicles. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for fishermen. Our books for anglers include titles that focus on fly fishing, bait fishing, fly-casting, spin casting, deep sea fishing, and surf fishing. Our books offer both practical advice on tackle, techniques, knots, and more, as well as lyrical prose on fishing for bass, trout, salmon, crappie, baitfish, catfish, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Otolith studies have become more prevalent in recent years as use has expanded from ageing to examination of migration patterns and fidelity to natal habitats, and more recently examining otoliths for possible maternal contribution to progeny otoliths. The otoliths of larval Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis (Walbaum; 1792), were used to determine the presence of maternal contribution through three experiments. The first experiment was to examine the formation of larval otoliths to determine if otoliths formed prior to/ during the yolk sac stage when maternal influences are present, and thus if maternal contribution is possible. Two of the three otolith pairs (sagitta and lapillus) are formed during the embryo stage (sagitta) or post hatch (lapillus). The sagittal otoliths are the most often used otolith in microchemical studies; therefore its formation during the embryo stage suggests maternal contribution to progeny otoliths is possible. The second experiment used microchemical analysis of adult Striped Bass soft tissue (muscle, liver, kidney, and gonads) to determine whether adult Striped Bass develop trace elemental signatures similar to the adult otoliths. The gonadal tissues (ovaries and testes) were found to have similar signatures to adult otoliths utilizing a linear discriminate function analysis. As the two previous experiments support the hypothesis of maternal contribution the final step was to run a discriminate function analysis between the progeny and maternal otoliths. Embryo sagittal otoliths correctly identified the maternal clusters 91.67% of the time (n = 12), yolk sac larvae 66.67% of the time (n = 15), and non-yolk sac larvae only 60.94% of the time (n = 64). Progeny otoliths were also able to identify maternal river (Neuse, Roanoke or Tar); embryos classified the river 83.33% of the time (n = 12), yolk sac larvae classified 93.33% of the time (n = 15), and non-yolk sac larvae classified with 44.44% (n = 72) accuracy. Results of this study validate the hypothesis of maternal contribution and support the hypothesis of maternal life history determination from progeny.
