Second, unlike other temperate bass, the two lowermost stripes are distinctively broken just posterior to the middle. Also, the second and third anal spines are approximately equal in length.
They are also referred to as temperate bass. The striped bass is anadromous, spending much of its life in the ocean and returning to fresh water to spawn.
Moronidae, also known as the "temperate basses", is a family of perciform fish consisting of 6 marine species. Similar to Acropomotidae, Moronidae fish are most commonly found near the coastal regions of eastern North America and Europe.
The short (less than half the fin length) anal fin spines and body stripes distinguish striped bass from white perch, the other member of the temperate bass family found in Maritime waters.
