• Description:
  Recruitments of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Nanticoke River, Maryland, had failed for a 20-yr period, leading to postulations that the river was dysfunctional with respect to its ability to produce young striped bass. We investigated the early-life dynamics of striped bass eggs and larvae in the Nanticoke during the 1992 and 1993 spawning seasons to determine if episodic weather events and water quality affected survival, growth, and potential to recruit.
