California Department of Fish and Wildlife Adult Striped Bass Study, Sacramento-San Joaquin Watershed, California, 1969-2022
Listed in California Open Data
The Adult Striped Bass Study was operated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (previous Department of Fish and Game) between 1969 and 2022.
Description
The objective of this study was to generate estimates of adult striped bass harvest and abundance for use in managing the striped bass recreational fishery and tracking impacts of water management on the striped bass population. Striped bass and other species were captured using 20' length by 10' diameter fyke traps and 600' length by 21' depth surface-drift style gillnets with stretched mesh measurements of 4", 4.5", 5", and 5.5".
The survey typically operated between April and June, with fyke traps deployed in the Sacramento River and gillnets deployed in the lower Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. A portion of adult or legal-sized striped bass were tagged with external 1/2" Petersen-disk tags for use in mark-recapture analyses. All external tags were individually coded, and a subset were assigned a reward value of 2 to 100 US dollars.

Due to the targeted nature of this study, non-striped bass species and untagged striped bass were not recorded prior to 1996. In addition, effort data (aside from sampling day/event) are not available prior to 1994. Due to these and other limitations, the publishing authors recommend caution be exercised when attempting to quantify relative trends in abundance (i.e. CPUE) from these data. ## About This Federated Record This CNRA Open Data Platform record is based on metadata federated from the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) Data Portal.
