Restoration of Anadromous Alewives at Long Pond, Maine
Havey KA. 1961. Restoration of Anadromous Alewives at Long Pond, Maine. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. 90(3):281-286
'From 1950 through 1953, 1,403 to 1,793 near-ripe anadromous alewives, Alosa pseudoharengus, were stocked annually at Long Pond, Hancock County, Maine, to restore an alewife run in the Long Pond drainage.' 'The four stockings produced alewife runs of approximately 11,000 to 51,000 fish in a 3 to 5 year period following each stocking. Later runs (1958-59) produced by progeny of stocked fish were similar to those produced by stocking. There was little relationship between escapement and numbers of progeny 3 to 5 years later. Runs were of age groups III-VIII but were dominated by age groups IV-VI. Age group III appeared in two of the six annual runs and In only one run In significant numbers. Fish of the large 1951 year class appeared in all runs from 1954 through 1959.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Long Pond/
