Stripe Bass
|
 |
Common Names - striper, rockfish, rock, linesides.
Description - The striper is the largest member of the temperate bass family.
Body coloration is olive-green to blue-gray on the back with silvery to brassy
sides and white on the belly. It is easily recognized by the seven or eight
prominent black uninterrupted horizontal stripes along the sides. The stripes
are often interrupted or broken and are usually absent on young fish of less
than six inches. The striper is longer and sleeker and has a larger head than
its close and similar looking relative, the white bass, which rarely exceeds
three pounds

Fluke / Flownder
|
 |
All flatfishes, including the southern flounder, are
compressed laterally and spend most of their life lying and swimming along the
bottom on their side. In the case of southern flounder, the left side is always
the "up" side; in other species, the opposite is true.

Tuna
|
 |
Six of the world’s 13 tuna species occur off New Jersey each year. Among the
most beautiful and powerful of sea creatures, the tops of their heads and their
upper backs are either solid or wavy lines of dark, lustrous, metallic blue.
Their sides are silver or silver grey, often with silvery spots, bands and
iridescent hues of purple, pink and gold and silvery-white on the belly. Most
young tunas have striking vertical bars along the body flanks, although these
disappear with age. The beautiful coloration and patterns serve as camouflage.

Blue Fish

Bluefish, Pomatomus saltatrix, is the only member of the family
Pomatomidae, and is closely related to the jacks, pompanos and roosterfish.
Commonly known as chopper, tailor, snapper, elf, skipjack, greenfish and blue,
the bluefish inhabits the continental shelf waters of temperate zones. Along the
eastern United States, it is found from Nova Scotia to Texas and visits the
Chesapeake Bay region from spring to autumn. The bluefish is abundant in the
lower Bay and common most years in the upper Bay, although it is rare in the Bay
north of Baltimore
