Thanks for your replies. What you said is exactly right. I'm looking to put in practice: a spring fish with a really fat belly it's very possible it's laden with eggs. And even, I'm looking further understanding when it's male or female in order to take the decision of keeping it or not. Taking care of this may save the next generation of stripers and allows the generations (son, grand-son, grand-daughter, etc.) to come to enjoy like us.
