Overwinter Changes in the Lipid Profile of Young-of-the-Year Striped Bass (<i>Morone saxatilis</i>) in Freshwater Ponds

Young-of-the-year (YOY) striped bass (<i>Morone saxatilis</i>) suffer significant mortality during their first winter. While causes of this mortality are unclear, lipids may play role in adapting to winter stresses, including thermal change and food scarcity. To address this, YOY striped...
