 STRIPERS: Lean, mean and green.
The amount of female striped bass that can reproduce (female spawning stock biomass) was estimated at 55 million pounds in 2004. This estimate is well above the recommended biomass threshold of 30.9 million pounds and the target biomass of 38.6 million pounds. Stripers are not overfished.  In fact, many advocates for the Connecticut lobster fishery are saying that the striped bass are to blame for the dwindling lobster population in CT waters. These advocates are even using this as a reason for why the government should not impose a fishing moratorium on lobster.

Save a lobster, eat a striper.

Line caught fish are better for the environment. Line fishing minimizes by-catch. Nothing funny about that now is there?
