Maryland’s striped bass juvenile abundance index (JAI) is well below average for the fourth consecutive year and testing historic lows.
The JAI was 3.6, well below the long-term average of 11.3, and marked the fourth year in a row when the index did not rise above 4.0. Something that has never before happened in a time series stretching all the way back to 1957.
