From Page 9 :"A recently documented tagging
study (McLaren et al. 1981) on the
Hudson River indicated that most
adult fish remained all year within 50
km (31 mi) of tagging sites. Most
fish that moved out of the Long Island
Sound area moved northeastward. The
most northerly recapture area over 2
years of study was Provincetown,
Massachusetts. In contrast to what
has been reported f o r Chesapeake Bay
striped bass, no dependence on age,
size, or sex was found f o r the migratory
segment of the Hudson River
population. Evidence indicated that
the Hudson River population was most
likely self-perpetuating and self-contained
within the river and immediate
surrounding coastal area. Little evidence
existed for mingling of Chesapeake
and Hudson stocks, either d u r -
ing migrations or within overwintering
populations (McLaren et al. 1981)."
