Life histories of anadromous fish are difficult to examine due to constraints on direct observation. However, an understanding of patterns of habitat use is critical to management efforts since recruitment to spawning age is vital to population sustainability. Blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis) are anadromous fish that utilize a variety of freshwater, estuary and nearshore marine habitats. Rapid declines in their abundance and a subsequent petition for listing under the US Endangered Species Act in 2012 have ushered in an immediate need for life history information. This study focused on five river systems and seven spawning runs along the coast of …
