MakoMike,
I agree with you that the YOY index has been historically measured in the Chesapeake bay. I must disclose, I am not a biologist! :-) But, I do know that striped bass spawn in other river systems. Perhaps these populations are too small to justify measuring them? I frankly do not know. Again, I am not a biologist! :-). But, the scientific/analytical part of my brain cannot help but to be curious about the missing data.
Again, I agree with you! :-).
