Striped Bass
Striped bass, affectionately known as Stripers, are true dual citizens of the aquatic world, equally at home in the ocean’s briny depths and the freshwater embrace of rivers. Their life journey begins in freshwater rivers, where they spawn. As they mature, they venture into the vast expanse of the coastal ocean, creating a fascinating tale of migration and adaptation.
These remarkable fish have a precise temperature preference, seeking a sweet spot between 55°F and 65°F. To stay in this temperature comfort zone, they annually embark on a breathtaking migration, showcasing their dedication to the cooler waters they crave.
Over half of the Striped Bass found in the market are products of aquaculture operations right here in the United States. Their delectable flavor has become a sought-after culinary delight, driving their widespread popularity and commercial success.
