Listed in GBIF
Description
This is the OBIS extraction of the Atlantic Cooperative Telemetry and Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) SERC Alewife Study, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals. If readers are interested in the source dataset they may also inquire with the project PIs as listed here or on the OTN web site (members.oceantrack.org/project?ccode=ACT.CBALEW).
Abstract

The Fisheries Conservation at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center is tracking the annual migration of Alewife in the Chesapeake Bay. Our previous studies on river herring (Alewife and Blueback Herring) have investigated spawning run counts, spawning habitat use, population genetics, eDNA, temperature regimes and movement/survival (via PIT tagging). In 2022, 50 alewife were tagged in the Choptank River, MD to look at their movements within the tributary during the spawning season, migration timing, and habitat use in the ocean.
