A Survey of Former Shad Streams in Maine (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from A Survey of Former Shad Streams in Maine
A review of historical accounts of shad in Maine rivers preceded the field survey, and this review proved valuable in indicating those rivers where field work could be done most profitably. Streams with no past his tory of shad runs were examined cursorily, if at all. Streams which once had important shad runs were examined more thoroughly, expecially in those instances in which the streams are not presently obstructed by artificial barriers. Rivers and streams obstructed near brackish water by impassable dams were examined only superficially. The major portion of the field work was devoted to those streams where small shad runs still exist, and to streams which formerly had runs of commercial importance and in which dams or other obstructions do not prevent access to former spawning areas.
Part I of this report considers the former shad rivers of the State in their order along the coast from west to east. Historical information, where available, is summarized for each river, together with a description of present conditions as revealed by field work.
