Check it out, folks -

During the fall of 2009 the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife biologists had the opportunity to collect striped bass biological samples on the party boat F/V Queen Mary and during several fishing tournaments throughout the state.

These types of sampling, in addition to the Division's field surveys, are valuable components of New Jersey's striped bass research and the coastwide assessment of the striped bass resource.

To view the results and learn more about the striped bass resource, see biologist Heather Corbett's feature article at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/artstrpbass10.htm on the division's web site.
