DESCRIPTION

The American Shad Stock Assessment Report analyzes the status of 31 stocks of American shad along the Atlantic coast. Due to the large volume of material contained within the report (1200+ pages), it is organized into three volumes. Volume I contains a comprehensive look at all of the stocks, including an introduction to the science and management of the species, summaries of coastwide indices, summaries of the state or river system assessments, conclusions and recommendations, and a look at hypothesized causes of decline. Volumes II and III provide an in-depth exploration of American shad stock status by state or river system. These volumes provide stand-alone assessments of stocks and serve as a reference for material contained in Volume I. The contents of the three volumes follow:Volume I: Introduction Coastwide Summaries State and River Stock Assessment Summaries Conclusions and Recommendations Causes of Decline Volume II: Maine New Hampshire Merrimack River Rhode Islan
