Florida’s Shad and River Herrings (Alosa species): a review of Population and Fishery Characteristics

Of the six shad and river herring species (Clupeidae:Alosa species) found in North America, five occur inFlorida (Figure 1), more than in any other state in theU.S. These species, with one possible exception, areanadromous (i.e., they move from salt water to freshwater to spawn). On Florida’s Atlantic coast, there arethree species: American shad (Alosa sapidissima), hickoryshad (A. mediocris), and blueback herring (A.aestivalis). Two species are present on Florida’s gulfcoast: Alabama shad (A. alabamae) and skipjack herring(A. chrysochloris).The Atlantic species range northwardfrom Florida to as far as Canada, and the gulf speciesrange westward to Louisiana. This document summarizes information about Florida’s populations of Alosa speciesand discusses the status and trends of those populations. (26pp.)
