Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anadromous alosines are ecologically, commercially, and recreationally valuable fishes. Some populations of alosines are at historically low levels, as a result of overfishing, pollution and habitat change, including the presence of dams, which block access to historic spawning sites upstream and alter spawning habitat downstream. To aid in the restoration of alosine stocks, I evaluated several methods for spawning habitat identification and characterization and evaluated trap and transport as a method to give American shad Alosa sapidissima access to additional spawning habitat above dams in the Roanoke River, North Carolina and Virginia. The Roanoke River has four anadromous shads: American shad, hickory shad A. mediocris, blueback herring A. aestivalis, and alewife A. pseudoharengus. For all four alosines, spawning sites river-wide were most efficiently identified using plankton tows. Spawning habitat selection for hickory shad and river herring (blueback herring and alewife) could be evaluated using spawning pads, whereas American shad eggs were unsuccessfully sampled by spawning pads and spawning habitats were best examined by visual observations of spawning splashes. Unlike the other alosines in this study, very little is known about spawning habitat for hickory shad. Hickory shad eggs were collected at water temperatures from 10 to 23 Ã'ÂðC, and peaked from 11 to 14 Ã'ÂðC. Spawning generally occurred in water velocities Ã؉ÂÆ0.1 m/sec, over substrates free from silt. Standard USFWS and Bayesian belief network formats were used to develop preliminary habitat suitability models for hickory shad. Bayesian belief networks are a relatively new method for modeling habitat suitability for fishes, but could prove very useful in the future, especially for species such as American shad which have been the focus of more study and are in need of restoration. We evaluated movement patterns and spawning of sonic-tagged adult American shad transported to habitats above da.

North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) staff provided 479 American Shad Alosa sapidissima samples in 2022 for parentage-based tagging (PBT) analysis. Fin clips were from the Roanoke River (n = 185) and Neuse River (n = 294). Hatchery contribution was 47.0% for Roanoke River adults and 2.4% for Neuse River adults. The effective population estimate (Ne) for 2022 Roanoke River American Shad was 637 (95% confidence interval = 416–1259) and for Neuse River American Shad was 10,558 (95% confidence interval = 1525–infinite)--Page [1].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populations of American shad (Alosa sapidissima) have declined from historical levels due to overfishing, decreased water quality and habitat losses including those due to dam construction. One approach for restoring these populations is to identify suitable habitat upstream of dams that could be restored through dam removal or by providing fish passage. The goal of this research is to identify and characterize potential spawning habitat for American shad in the upper Roanoke River basin of Virginia, above Kerr Reservoir. Five mainstem rivers that are upstream of the Roanoke Rapids, Gaston, and Kerr dams (Big Otter, Staunton, Banister, Dan, Hyco) were the focus of this research. Roanoke Rapids Dam is the first obstruction to American shad spawning migration in the Roanoke River basin, and just completed the FERC (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) relicensing process in 2004. One of the provisions of the new license is to evaluate a trap and transport program for spawning American shad. Characterizing the habitat above the dam, in terms of suitability, is an important step in predicting the benefits of fish passage. A detailed physical habitat assessment, including monthly water quality monitoring, indicated that the Banister and Hyco rivers consistently had lower dissolved oxygen concentrations and may provide lower quality habitat for American shad compared to the other rivers. However, according to the current published Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model, which incorporates surface water temperature and current velocity as criteria for suitable habitat, the five rivers appear to contain suitable habitat with HSI values ranging from 0.83 to 1.00 during May. I constructed a modified HSI model with surface water temperature and current velocity, as well as dissolved oxygen, pH and a component for substrate composition. The modified model suggested that the Big Otter and Staunton rivers would provide the highest quality spawning habitat for American shad becaus.
