Migratory Fish Runs
Migratory
fish runs are Focus on the Coast's priority coastal resource #2. Migratory
fish are fish that spend some of their life cycle in fresh water, and
some in the ocean. These are some of our most ecologically and economically
valuable species, like herring, bluefish, striped bass, shad and eel.
To keep 'em comin' back, you need to know where their preferred streams
are. These maps have been recently created by the CT DEP's Marine Fisheries
Unit, who know more about fish habitat than the fish themselves.
