Description:

Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis), a non-native, anadromous fish introduced to California in 1879, is a popular sport fish and piscivorous predator in the San Francisco Bay/Delta ecosystem, but comparatively little is known about its distribution and ecology in estuaries and rivers of the California coast. Here we review recent scientific papers, consultant reports, and correspondence to evaluate its distribution in coastal estuaries and rivers, evidence for local reproduction, and scope for impacts on native fishes, especially salmonids. Striped Bass is extremely rare in the ocean along the north coast, and has not turned up in extensive surveys of Humboldt Bay, the Eel River estuary, or the Russian River estuary.
