| Morone saxatilis | Egg | Egg size after water-hardening | 3.6 [Eggs] | 3.6 mm |
| Morone saxatilis | Egg | Egg Buoyancy | Semibuoyant: that is they sink but are swpet up from the bottom by the slightest disturbance of the water | Demersal |
| Morone saxatilis | Egg | Incubation time | 74 hours at 58°F and 48hours at 67°F | 74.0 days |
| Morone saxatilis | Female | Age at sexual maturity | A few of the female striped bass become mature by the end of their 3rd year, while the majority attain maturity at the end of their 4th year | 3.0 year |
| Morone saxatilis | Female | Absolute fecundity | Very prolific, a female of only 12 pounds has been known to yield 1280000 eggs, while a 75 pound fish would produce as many as 10000000. | 12.0 thousand eggs |
| Morone saxatilis | Spawning conditions | Spawning migration period | Anadromous, coming in from the sea to spawn in brackish or fresh water | No data |
| Morone saxatilis | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | April through June, the excat time depending on the latirude and temperature | ['April', 'June'] |
| Morone saxatilis | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | In these rapids, where the muddy current is exceedingly strong and rendered very erratic by islands, boulders and rocks, the fish spaws. Spawn in low-lying flooded delta country adjacent to Suisun Bay, where the borders between brackish and purely fresh | Flowing or turbulent water |
