SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The purpose of this information
collection is to gather historical and
current population and biological
information from commercial and
recreational harvesters of the two
species of river herring; alewife (Alosa
pseudoharengus) and blueback (A.
aestivalis). Given that commercial and
recreational fishermen have a unique
and important understanding of the long
term status of the species for which they
are fishing, NOAA intends to contact
both current and retired recreational
and commercial harvesters of river
herring from Maine to North Carolina, to
inquire about recent and long-term
observations of changes in run-timing,
abundance, distribution, individual size
and species composition. Results will be
used to assist NOAA in identifying
observational trends among river
herring populations throughout their
range so as to make more informed
