Striped Bass
Morone saxatilis
This seafood research paper will outline some basic facts about striped bass, one of the most succulent fish served in the United States. Basic information about striped bass, including market information, use in menus, potential parasites, commercial fishing information and seasonality is included.
Striped bass is also known as striped bass, striper, linesider, bass, rockfish, rock, sewer trout and Fr. bar raye. The scientific name for striped bass is Morone saxatilis, and the fish appears in some early scientific literature as Roccus lineatus. Striped bass is a member of the medium- to large-sized, perch-like fishes, and inhabits coastal marine, brackish, and fresh waters in both temperate and tropical regions. This fish species was successfully introduced in into both a large number of inland lakes and reservoirs, and the Pacific coast. Striped bass now are resident from Ensenada, Mexico to British Columbia.
Along the Atlantic coast, most striped bass are involved in one of two types of migrations. Firstly, there is an upriver spawning migration from late winter to early spring. Secondly, there are coastal migrations. The costal migrations are not known to be associated with spawning activity....
Striped bass spawn from mid-February in Florida to late June or July in Canada. Females are generally larger than males (United States National Marine Fisheries Service; Gary Shepherd).
Striped bass are widely enjoyed seafood. Striped bass market forms are whole, filet, fresh or frozen. They range between 2 and 20 pounds. Striped bass is a versatile fish that can be cooked in parchment, roasted, grilled or sauteed, and has white, flaky meat.. Wild striped bass fillets should be firm, nearly translucent, with a red (not brown blood line), and no discernable fishy smell (Virginia Seafood).
Like most other seafood, striped bass, sometimes contain parasites. As with other seafood, special care should be taken in the cleaning, preparation and storage of striped bass. The fish should be kept as cold as is comfortably possible during preparation. The parasites Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda, Flexibacter columnaris, Mycobacterium, Pasteurella, Pseudomonas, and Vibrio have all been found in the striped bass (McAllister et al., 1987).
Striped bass is a popular seafood, and large numbers are consumed every year. Striped bass are available year round. There are a large number of striped bass consumed per year in both the United…

Another environmental impact is with the impact on wild salmon. The aquaculture industry argues that farmed salmon eases pressure on wild stocks. Theoretically, this may be true but in practice the argument lacks strength. Wild salmon stocks are subject to quotas and active management from the Department of Fisheries, and the global overfishing problem is not necessarily related to wild salmon stocks. There is no evidence presented that demand for
Aquaculture in the Midwest Except for bucolic scenes of fishing on rivers meandering across the Midwest and Great Plains, most people don't equate fish with that region, at least not huge catches of commercial fish. However, as long ago as 1996, "traders in the 'futures pit' of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange were shouting and signaling bids and offers for spring wheat, white wheat, white shrimp and black tiger shrimp" (Weber 1996).
Two of the greatest threats to sustenance in India are drought and pestilence, both of which account for the widespread failure of many crops to reach harvest. The bollworm that ravages cotton crops in India accounted, in 2003, for the destruction of more than 50% of the nations' cotton harvest. (Yang, 1) However, during this same year, a breed of cotton was engineered for resistance against the bollworm "with a gene from the insecticidal bacterium Bacillus
The abalone must have fresh ocean water to thrive and have been carefully managed for numbers, in order to not over-harvest and allow for growth (Abalone 2006). Throughout the South Island there are 18 local r-nanga (committees). An elected representative from each r-nanga makes up Te R-nanga o Ng-i Tahu, the governing body overseeing the tribe's activities. The executive functions of Te R-nanga o Ng-i Tahu are carried out by the
The plan would be the result of the scientific method, through which the impacts and causes of the current environmental problems would be addressed. Additionally, the scientific method would sit at the basis of the future actions to be taken. These would traditionally include: The search for alternative sources of energy The search for renewable sources of energy The creation of an infrastructure which allowed the propagation and populous use of alternative energies The
Maintaining Peak Efficiency: Shipyards, the Merchant Marine Fleet, and New Technology Saudi Arabia, in order to develop a powerful maritime economy, should take note from the actions and attitudes of other maritime nations such as Norway. The Norwegian authorities have long supported a holistic approach to maritime management, which is reflected in their interest in maintaining equal footing for a variety of maritime interests. These interests include fishing/aquaculture, maritime traffic, and
