The Shubenacadie Grand Lake population in Nova Scotia (N 44o) is indeed a
wild population.  No stocking of striped bass has been allowed in Canadian
waters.  See the following publication:

Rulifson, R.A. and M.J. Dadswell.  1995.  Life history and population
characteristics of striped bass in Atlantic Canada.  Transaction of the
American Fisheries Society 124:447-507.
