Morone Americana is commonly known as the striped bass, a popular game fish native to the Atlantic coast of North America. Some synonyms for this fish include striper, linesider, rockfish, and Atlantic striped bass. It is a prized catch among anglers due to its size, strength, and delicious taste. It is an anadromous fish, meaning it spawns in freshwater rivers and migrates to the ocean to feed and grow. Striped bass populations have faced many challenges over the years, including overfishing and habitat degradation, but efforts to restore their populations have been successful in many areas. Today, striped bass fishing remains an important recreational and commercial activity in many parts of the eastern United States.
