The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is asking anglers for their help collecting information about the state’s striped bass populations.

Anglers are encouraged to complete a survey that asks for details like the dates of fishing trips, how much time was spent fishing, what type of tackle was used, whether any striped bass were caught on the trip, and more. It can be found online here.

The survey effort, which began in 1993, helps the department “gather length data on catch-and-release fish that cannot be obtained through annual creel surveys,” which provides a “more complete picture of New Hampshire’s striped bass fishery,” Fish and Game said in a news release.

Massachusetts has a similar initiative called the Striped Bass Citizen Science Project, which aims to further the state’s understanding of “what factors influence the survival of striped bass after they are released,” the release said. More information on how to participate in that project can be found at https://www.mass.gov/news/striped-bass-citizen-science-project
