[QUOTE There are alternate sources of striped bass for public consumption now, so you can argue that a commerical season only serves to discourage the further development of aquaculture (what is cheaper, Alantic Salmon which is 100% farmed, or Striped Bass?)[/QUOTE]

Farm Raised Striper tastes like Chit....

Never tried it, and have no desire to do so.....though I don't mind farm raised salmon or shrimp. For that matter I also don't mind farm raised duck or beef....though I'm sure wild stuff tastes better. So why is it that we don't have commerical hunting seasons, but still have commerical fishing seasons? Shouldn't we all have a right to go shoot some plover and seal to sell so we can support our families? What is the difference?

Except that farm raised shrimp (in particular) and salmon (somewhat) have MONUMENTAL environmental risk.
Use Google earth to look in SE Asia at the shrimp farms... ugly. they use the area and then move on....
