Description

Abstract: A shad study was initiated January 1, 1969, to find ways to selectively harvest shad without jeopardizing the reduced run of summer chinook in the Columbia River and to learn more about the life history of shad so they could be managed more effectively. To accomplish these objectives, various types of gear were tested for their ability to catch shad selectively, and adult and juvenile shad from several different sources were sampled for biological information.
