Document Description
For the Lake Elsinore Striped Bass Release Project, 5,000 striped bass or hybrids (striped bass x white bass cross) will be released into Lake Elsinore starting in the winter and spring of 2004. These fish will be released to determine the effectiveness of such stocking to control the threadfin shad and carp populations. Striped bass and hybrids are being proposed because they are effective predators of shad and juvenile carp and both could quickly grow to large size necessary to prey upon pelagic schooling fish like threadfin shad. Neither striped nor hybrids will reproduce in the lake because they spawn in rivers and the San Jacinto River does not provide adequate spawning habitat nor the sustained high volume of freshwater flow to Lake Elsinore required to keep the semi-buoyant eggs suspended in the current long enough to successfully hatch.
