a shoreline town in CT, like many other PC students, and naturally I spend a lot of time around the water. A large part of my free time is taken up by fishing with my dad and over the past few years we have noticed both the quantity and size of striped bass has gone down.

For modern day fisherman fishing is a lifestyle that may require a wealth of money depending on what kind of bass fishing someone wants to do. People will less wealth just fish from the

Another observation done by Bass is that the projected estimate of a population growth of 132 to 1,800 is just that an estimation. As Bass stated “ bears do not sit down for a census”(Bass 2). If grizzly bears are listed there is a chance that hunters will accidently over hunt bears once again. If bears bears are delisted it will not be because the bears will

millions of ocean fish (Blair and Ansel 111). About two hundred and two species have been recorded as permanent residents of the Chesapeake and there are four classes of migratory fish (“Chesapeake Wildlife”). Species such as shad, alewife, and striped bass leave the marine environment to spawn in fresh water. In the summer, hardhead, spot, and menhaden reside in the Bay. Bluefish are a common migrant found in the

Overfishing: The Problem and the Solution Your Name Axia College of University of Phoenix Overfishing: The Problem and the Solution A major environmental problem that has developed over the last few years is overfishing. What is overfishing? Overfishing is simply what it sounds like. Overfishing occurs when fishermen are catching fish so quickly and at such high rates that the fish are unable to reproduce fast enough to replenish the population. It is my belief that, if this has not always been

geoffrensis) (Pier & Madin, 1976). S. iniae has since become a major fish pathogen in aquacultures worldwide. Its major significance is as an aetiological agent of streptococcosis in farmed fish and is known to infect tilapia, red drum, hybrid striped bass and rainbow trout (SOURCE). The estimated impact of infections caused by S. iniae on the American aquaculture industry was USD$10M. Globally, the impact in estimated at USD$100M (Shoemaker et al., 2000). Recently, S. iniae has emerged as a growing

fly fishing has become an enjoyable past time for many people of all ages. Fly fishing is most renowned as a method for catching salmon and trout, but is also known for catching pike, panfish, bass and carp as well. Fly fishing can also be used to catch marine species such as: snook, bonefish, striped bass and redfish. There are also reports of fly fisherman expectantly catching species such as bream, rudd and chub while intending to catch trout. For the fisherman who is hoping to catch a variety

I gave a quick flick of my wrist, setting the hook. I began to work the fish towards me. The bass was relentless and was not going to be caught without giving up a fight. My mind was so focused on getting this fish to shore that i forgot everything that was going through my head. The full fight, which must have taken about 10 minutes, seemed to

species of fish such as walleye, yellow perch, northern pike, muskies and white bass may struggle with the warmer water temperatures pushing them northward. With the rising warmer waters, species such as largemouth and smallmouth bass, bluegill, carp, white perch, bluegill and channel catfish populations would stay here in Lake Erie as warmer water would suit them best (“Sandusky Register”, 2017). Fish such as striped bass may be able to establish in the Great Lakes via the St. Lawrence Seaway (“Sandusky
