Fish pass monitoring is essential to ensure the device's effectiveness as a mitigation measure for river impoundment, guaranteeing longitudinal continuity of rivers, which particularly important diadromous fish that depend on obligatory migrations freshwater reproduction (anadromous) or feeding areas (catadromous) complete their life cycle. The upstream migration anadromous allis (Alosa alosa L...

American shad is an anadromous fish that displays asynchronous ovarian development. In an effort to enhance our understanding of the reproductive cycle of this primitive Teleostei species, and provide better management tools for the Chesapeake fishery, we have conducted studies of its gonadal and hormonal cycles. We developed various assays to measure reproductive endocrine factors including: 1...

Understanding food-web ecology is valuable to conservation by linking interactions of multiple species together and illustrating the functionality of trophic exchange. Alosa alabamae (Alabama Shad), an anadromous species, reproduces in northern Gulf of Mexico drainages from February through May, and for this study, the Pascagoula and Apalachicola rivers were chosen to sample juvenile Alabama Sh...

—We analyzed the dynamics of eight populations of anadromous alewife Alosa pseudoharengus to determine their habitat carrying capacity, their maximum reproductive rate, and whether depensation occurs at low abundances. When spawner–recruit models are fit to data sets for individual alewife populations, the resulting parameter estimates are often poorly determined, biologically unrealistic, and ...

Studies that span entire species ranges can provide insight into the relative roles of historical contingency and contemporary factors that influence population structure and can reveal patterns of genetic variation that might otherwise go undetected. American shad is a wide ranging anadromous clupeid fish that exhibits variation in demographic histories and reproductive strategies (both semelp...

this study was carried out to evaluate the chemical compoition of alosa caspia and results compared with clupeonella engrauliformis which is a common fish catch among clupeonella and clupeidae spp in caspian sea . results showed that the amount of fat, protein, ash and dry matter in alosa was higher than clupeonella. the fatty acid composition showed that the epa was very high in alosa that sho...
