This book explores the taxonomic value of gill raker counts as a method for categorizing striped bass populations along the Atlantic Coast and several rivers. Gill rakers are bony projections on the fish's gills that help filter food from the water. The author's study found that gill raker counts could effectively differentiate between striped bass populations from various river systems and geographic locations. The author also discovered that gill raker counts remained consistent with age and did not differ between sexes. This book contributes to the understanding of striped bass populations and provides valuable insights into the genetic diversity and population structure of this important species.
