1 The Life History and Management of Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) Abigail Franklin, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Department of Natural Resources Conservation
2 The Biology and Management of Alewife (Alosa psuedoharengus) Natural history of herring Population status & possible causes of declines Nature-like fishway research Agencies that manage alewife New management plan! Situation at Herring River, Wellfleet
3 Anadromous and Catadromous Species Sea Lamprey Atlantic Sturgeon Atlantic Salmon Shortnose Sturgeon Sea-run Brown Trout American Shad Sea-run Brook Trout Alabama Shad Hickory Shad Rainbow Smelt Striped Bass Alewife Blueback Herring White Perch Skipjack Herring Gizzard Shad American Eel
4 Anadromous and Catadromous Species of Wellfleet Striped Bass Alewife Blueback Herring White Perch American Eel
5 Range of Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus)
6 Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) Upstream spawning migration to natal river Ocean Estuary River Downstream migration Spawning in ponds
7 Eggs mm Hatch in 2-5 days Larvae form schools 2 weeks after hatching
8
9 Juvenile alewife research Yako, Mather, & Juanes Not just temperature - Migrate July-November - Migration is complex - First to leave are smaller - Peak migrations correspond to low food - Migrate during new moon
10 Where do they go in the ocean? Summer and Fall Gulf of Maine
11 Where do they go in the ocean? Winter
12 Where do they go in the ocean?

14 How do they switch from salt to freshwater? Gill filaments Gills Chloride cell
