Argo EE. 2010. Can Denning Brook in Somesville, Maine be restored as an Alewife run?. College of the Atlantic. Bar Harbor, ME
"...This report attempts to provide background work that could help support restoration work on anadromous fishes in Denning Brook, with particular attention to alewives. The first section gives historical information on the alewife runs on Denning Brook, followed by a summary of the general physical and water-quality characteristics believed necessary to maintain a successful alewife run. This is followed by an historical timeline for both fish passage and fish species present in the Denning Brook Watershed, including the poisoning of Echo Lake in 1956. The largest section of the paper is an analysis of what would need to change to allow fish passage. A final section details the next steps needed to expand this project and the potential actions necessary to restore and alewife run in Denning Brook." Starting on page 4, there is a timeline of dams and fish passage in Denning Brook from 1794 to 2004. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Denning Brook/
