Striped Bass (3″ figure by Replica Toy Fish)

This post will look at another of the figures released in April of 2015, the striped bass Morone saxatillis. After the initial twelve figures, this is the only species released that would be best thought of as marine, or at least less ‘freshwater’ than any other figure in the series (although many are catadromous or anadromous, or may range back and forth). This is also the last RTF figure […]

A tale of two fisheries — DFO seeking info in survey about salmon and striped bass
It's been catch-and-release only for Atlantic salmon for a number of years now because of low returns.

Sinking in Saltwater: #Maine’s #coastal #marshes at risk as sea levels rise

Between 28 and 57 percent of the state’s coastal marshes could disappear by the end of the century, victims of a rising sea, coastal #development and #PollutedRunoff.

PORTLAND — "It takes hundreds of years for a #SaltMarsh to form, for fine sediment brought in on the tides to settle in sections of shoreline sheltered from the worst of the wind and waves. As salt-tolerant plants — smooth #cordgrass, #SaltmarshHay, #saltgrass, #BlackRush — begin to grow, their dense stems and roots trap more sediment, and the marsh builds more rapidly, up and out.

"#Crabs, #shrimp and #worms arrive, drawn to the rich food of dying marsh grasses, followed by a variety of #fish#alewives, #StripedBass, #smelt and Sea-run #BrookTrout among them — many of which eventually migrate between the marsh and the sea.

"Acre by acre, a healthy salt marsh anchors a #FoodWeb 'more productive than most midwestern #farmland,' according to a 2003 paper published by the University of Maine.

"The same dense grasses that are so good at trapping silt also excel at ensnaring pollutants, pulling out nitrogen and nutrients that cause #AlgalBlooms, and burying #toxic #contaminants in the peat.

"Once established, plants in salt marshes grow quickly, fed by the rich soil, and pull #carbon from the atmosphere. Salt marshes are ten times more effective at storing carbon than tropical forests, and, left undisturbed, can trap the gas in the ground for centuries, a phenomenon scientists refer to as 'blue carbon.'

"Maine has some of the most extensive blue carbon reservoirs in the northeast — second only to Massachusetts, according to a study published by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2023.

"But as sea levels rise and development presses in, these reservoirs, and the habitats they create, are at risk of disappearing.

"An analysis by the University of Maine suggests that a significant portion of the Maine’s salt marshes — between 28 and 57 percent, depending on the sea level rise scenario — could be gone by the end of the century. They are also threatened by polluted runoff from #pesticides, #septic systems and #AgriculturalWaste.

"'The decisions Mainers make over the next 10 years are going to determine whether these important ecosystems persist,' said Bates professor Beverly Johnson, who has been studying blue carbon for years, speaking to The #MaineClimateCouncil in December.

"Over the past 25 years, nearly 300 acres of Maine’s wetlands — both fresh and saltwater — have been impacted by or lost to development, according to a Press Herald/Maine Monitor analysis of data from the state’s In Lieu Fee Compensation Program. The program allows developers to fill or convert certain #wetlands if they pay a fee, money that is used for conservation projects elsewhere."

#Fishing for #stripedBass in a spring flood #tide
Furnace Brook and Blacks Creek form an estuary behind a long spit & causeway in #Quincy, #Massachusetts. This tidal passage (beneath a bridge on Quincy Shores Avenue) can be closed for protection from extreme high water. At new moons, tidal range in this area is about 4 m (14 ft). My #photo

Two fisherman cast into foaming water at a tidal passageway on a sunny late summer day. Two walkers pause on the bridge above to look on.

This is why I've stopped #kayak fishing for #stripedbass here in #maine now that Great White #sharks are more common here.

In Chesapeake Bay, fishmeal producer Omega Protein and bass anglers are fighting over menhaden—a tiny fish with outsized economic and ecological importance.

The Shubenacadie/Stewiacke River is vital for the reproduction of Striped Bass in Nova Scotia. Millions of Striped Bass eggs will be at risk if Alton Gas is allowed to pump brine 6x the safe limits to marine life into the river.
