Because both are anadromous species with weak homing instincts, they colonized coastal streams far from the original points of introduction. |
The two anadromous species from Atlantic waters, striped bass and shad, have been welcome additions, not destroyers of native species. |
Thus, consistently more alleles were found within the anadromous than within the landlocked populations from Maine. |
As a member of the herring family, shad, along with salmon and striped bass, are anadromous, meaning they live in the ocean but swim inland and spawn in fresh water. |
The freshwater banded killifish and the anadromous rainbow smelt increased in abundance from August into September. |
Big dams stop anadromous fish, the best-known of which are salmon, returning to their spawning-grounds to breed. |
