The freshwater banded killifish and the anadromous rainbow smelt increased in abundance from August into September. |
Federal government manages anadromous, catadromous and other marine species. |
Typically, salmon are anadromous which means they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce. |
Unlike lampreys, salmon, and other anadromous fish, which migrate from the ocean to fresh water to breed, eels head in the opposite direction. |
Because both are anadromous species with weak homing instincts, they colonized coastal streams far from the original points of introduction. |
This is an account of nineteenth-century efforts to naturalize alien freshwater and anadromous fish in California. |
