A Chesapeake Bay survey by John Pearson of the area State Bureau of Fisheries warns Maryland style limits on striped bass could prevent depletion of a key food fish. He notes Maryland and Virginia catches reached about 2,200,000 pounds in one year and 650,000 pounds in 1934, with Maryland’s purse net ban in 1922 yielding a rise in catch by 1935.
