The Atlantic striped bass is an anadromous fish found along the Atlantic coast of North America, from northern Florida to the estuary of the St Lawrence River. It has been successfully introduced into several lakes and reservoirs of the continent and onto the Pacific coast, where it can now be found from Mexico to British Columbia. The Atlantic coast stocks originate in Chesapeake Bay, the Delaware River and the Hudson River. It makes seasonal migrations from the coast of North Carolina to Nova Scotia.
