"The primary objective of this study is to assess the status of head-of-the-Bay shad stocks, specifically those utilizing the Susquehanna River drainage. The information obtained will be used to formulate management policies to restore American shad to stable, harvestable levels. To meet the primary objective, five separate jobs were initiated: tagging and population estimate, population characterization, creel census, juvenile recruitment survey, literature review and survey.
