Striped Bass Illustration - Scientific Drawing of Morone saxatilis #1372514 (License: Personal Use)

This precise black-and-white illustration captures the morphology of the striped bass (Morone saxatilis), including its elongated body, two dorsal fins, large mouth, and seven to eight prominent dark horizontal stripes along its silvery sides. The fine cross-hatching renders scale texture and musculature with anatomical fidelity, typical of 19th- or early 20th-century ichthyological plates. Such drawings were used in taxonomic keys, field guides, and fisheries documentation.
