PIER is tracking reproductive readiness by sampling sand bass every week leading up to the high season, which typically occurs in July and August. The last two slides show recent samples of go**ds we retrieved.

PIER’s goal is to better understand sand bass spawning dynamics and cross-border movements so that we can manage this valuable resource with the best available science.
