STRIPED BASS The catch record system for this important fishery was coordinated and placed on a firm foundation. A large volume of party boat records which had accumulated since 1938 was analyzed and interpreted. The handling of records of this type was put on a routine maintenance basis. Together with the statewide postal card estimates they now provide a continuous, up-to-date inventory of the fishery. A fairly ambitious tagging program aimed at evaluating the rate of harvesting by anglers was begun early in 1950. It was made possible by the acquisition of the 28-foot boat ''; A total of 1,899 striped bass was tagged late in the biennium. Special studies were also made to test the resistance to corrosion of various metals used with disk tags. Such corrosion has proved to be a serious problem. Surveys of the abundance of fingerling striped bass on the nursery grounds in June and July revealed the presence of large numbers in 1948, 1949, and 1950. There have not been enough of these surveys to establish a norm, but there is every indication that spawning and survival.
