Cooperative study with Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries. 



Unpublished: Preliminary findings indicated that most recaptured fish were taken in Massachusetts waters during summer and early autumn and then there 

 appeared to be a southward coastal movement. Most of the recaptures south of the Massachusetts coast were made in Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. 



Fredin (1954). This paper presents a method of analyzing catch, fishing rate, and tagging data which was used to estioate the size of the shad runs in the 

 Connecticut River for each year 1935-51. Analyses indicated that more than 80 percent of the fluctuations in the size of these runs can be explained by 

 changes in the size of the spawning escapement from the fishery. 



Judy (1961). This paper validates annuli and spawning marks as criteria for age determination of American shad.
