The Appalachian Striper Club (ASC), in conjunction with the Clark Hill Striper Club (CHSC), donated several of these Hatching Jars to the GADNR. The fertalized eggs need to remain suspended until they hatch and these jars enable that to happen. These hatching jars will help ensure that the GADNR meets thier restocking goals. The need for the eggs to remain suspended is also the reason striped bass do not re-produce naturally in most man-made lakes -- the feeder streams/rivers are not long enough to keep the fertilized eggs suspended long enough to hatch.
