Abstract
The introduction of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) fingerlings into Texas bays during 1975-1977 did not result in the establishment of a fishery. However, striped bass catches in unstocked bays indicated the potential for developing a fishery along the Texas Gulf coast through up-river stockings because striped bass reported from unstocked bays probably migrated from freshwater lakes.
