ASMFC Approves Addendum IV; requires reduction in 2015 coastal and Chesapeake Bay striped bass fisheries This week the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission (ASMFC) acknowledged that while the striped bass population has declined, it remains at a healthy level. In response to stakeholder preferences, ASMFC made a purposeful decision to take a more conservative management approach to achieve higher levels of abundance.
