Chapoton and Sykes (1961). This paper suggests that large striped bass from 6 to 75 pounds make extensive coastal migrations. Tagged fish were recaptured 

 in the commercial fisheries of North Carolina and Chesapeake Bay prior to or during the spawning season and by sport fisheries along the coast north of 

 Chesapeake Bay. 



Unpublished: Preliminary findings indicated that the average annual striped bass spawning population entering the Roanoke River was about 267,250 fish 

 and the fishing rate was about 13 percent. 



Unpublished: Preliminary findings indicated that spawning striped bass returned to the same spawning area each year. 



Walburg (1956). The findings showed that the estimated number of shad entering the Edisto River was 56,000 fish and the commercial fishing rate was 

 approximately 20 percent. 



Sykes (1956). This paper indicated that the commercial catch of shad in the Ogeechee River was 20,096 fish, the total population was 35,508 fish, and the 

 combined fishing rate by commercial and sport fisheries was 66 percent.

Unpublished; Results were inconclusive and therefore not used for population estimate. 



"walburg (1960), This paper presents a method of determining the size and spawning escapement of the shad population of the St. Johns River and population 

 parameters are given for each year 1953 to 1958.
