10 Herring Highway Data Analysis Using the data collected during your field study, answer the following questions for both fish. 1. Is it currently spawning season for either of these fish? Elaborate. 2. Summarize your findings of chemical and habitat tolerances for both fish. If it is spawning season for either or both fish, use your findings to explain the absence or presence of these anadromous fish.
