Abstract Comparisons of simulated and observed egg and larva abundance patterns for Hudson River striped bass Morone saxatilis during 1975 and 1976 provided support for a previously stated hypothesis that a sudden drop in water temperature during late May 1976 was associated with almost complete disappearance of cohorts spawned before that date. The major period of mortality for the earlier‐spawned cohorts may have occurred during or immediately following egg hatching rather than immediately following yolk absorption as had been previously postulated.
