Population connectivity is a critical component in the life history dynamics of anadromous
fishes and in the persistence of local populations. We used geochemical signatures in the …

Most anadromous fish populations remain at low levels or are in decline despite substantial
investments in restoration. We explore whether a resilience perspective (ie, a different …

The North American freshwater fish fauna is the most diverse and thoroughly researched
temperate fish fauna in the world. Ecology of North American Freshwater Fishes is the only …

Abstract In 1998, the Quaker Neck Dam was removed from the Neuse River near Goldsboro,
North Carolina, restoring access to more than 120 km of potential main-stem spawning …

American shad (Alosa sapidissima) are native to the east coast of North America from the St.
Johns River, Florida, to the St. Lawrence River region in Canada. Since the 1800s, dams …

A variety of data needs challenge the successful restoration and management of alosine
populations, including information on the migration, mortality, behavior, demographic rates …

Variation in habitat suitability can alter the growth and mortality of early life stages of fishes
but is often difficult to measure, quantify, and apply to the entire system. We designed and …

Historical fecundity estimates of American Shad Alosa sapidissima used a determinate
method that estimated annual fecundity as the standing stock of oocytes at a single point of …

Knowledge of the scale of population structure is a prerequisite for designating conservation
units. American shad (Alosa sapidissima) are of increasing conservation concern, but the …

Larval fish are frequently sampled in coastal tributaries to determine factors affecting
recruitment, evaluate spawning success, and estimate production from spawning habitats …
