Title
2018 Fish Migration on the Connecticut River
Subject
GEOG-220 Final Project
Description
There are many species of fish that travel
up the Connecticut River as part of their
life cycle. This map focuses on the
American Shad, Sea Lamprey, Alewife, and
Atlantic Salmon which are anadromous, as
well as the American Eel which is
catadromous.
Many dams have been built along the river
and surrounding tributaries, therefore
hindering the migration of these species,
and preventing them from reaching their
natural habitats. However, with the
addition of fish ladders, elevators, and eel
passageways, work is being done to
restore these species' native migration
ranges.
