American Shad Riverine Habitat Requirements
Entry ID:
BRD_LSC_AMERSHAD001
Summary
Abstract:
Field evaluations of existing habitat suitability index (HSI) models
for spawning adults, eggs, and larvae of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) were conducted in 1990-1992; initial models for juveniles in nursery habitats were developed. Fish abundance in various habitats of the upper Delaware River was quantified by (1) observation of adult spawning activity, (2) collection of eggs and larvae ...  Geographic Coverage
