Striped bass normally live in coastal waters but spawn in freshwater although some populations are landlocked in freshwater lakes or rivers. Farmed striped bass are hybrids, a cross between striped bass and white bass. Their broken stripes distinguish them from wild striped bass, which have solid stripes. Wild striped bass have a streamlined, silvery body marked with longitudinal dark stripes which run from behind the gills to the base of the tail. These wild fish can grow to 6 feet in length and may live up to 30 years. |
