Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the spawning status of striped bass (Morone saxatilis) in the Kouchibouguac and Richibucto estuaries, eastern New Brunswick, in 1997 & 1998. In the spring and summer of both years, the pelagic spawning & littoral rearing habitat of the estuaries were sampled for ichthyoplankton and juvenile fish. The secondary objective was to use the sampling surveys to describe the fish communities of the estuaries during the ice-free seasons. The surveys were intended to detect any major differences in species assemblages between these two small neighbouring estuaries. The final section discusses species composition, striped bass spawning status, and the presence of young-of-the-year striped bass.
