Striped Bass Magic Yearly Newsletters

Six students participating in the Diversity Module of the University of Chicago’s Spring Quarter in Biology, visited with Steve Zottoli and Scott Bennett on May 2, 2023, to discuss ongoing striped bass research.

Striped bass have seven to eight stripes that extend down their bodies. Aberrations in one or more of these stripes can be used to identify individual fish. Many students have taken pictures of these aberrations to see if fish can be identified from year to year in Eel Pond. In addition, control studies have been conducted to make sure that the aberrations do not change over time.

The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, MA has developed an ecosystem-based website, stripedbassmagic.org, as part of its outreach activities. Geared for middle and high school students, the site explores the interrelatedness of organisms by focusing on the ecosystem, migration, and life cycles of the striped bass and their predators and prey.
