River herring, lots of newly constructed fish ladder at Wiswall Dam in Durham, river herring! In the 10 short minutes I visited the fish ladder, I to be sure it was ready to pass any river herring that made witnessed at least 60 river herring emerging from the fish ladder the journey upstream.

And to think L ring to New Hampshire’s seacoast had started just the day these remarkable fish made the 3.6-mile journey from Newmarket before, with about 2,400 fish ascending the fish ladder at the head- in just one day! Even more astounding, these are the first fish to of-tide dam on the Lamprey River in Newmarket. As I approached swim past this location since a dam was first built here in 1830. the top of the fish ladder on that sunny afternoon, I saw two dark fish dart into the impoundment. Alewives and Bluebacks “Could it be?” I thought to myself. “Are river herring already River herring are actually comprised of two species of fish, the here?” As I quickly stepped up to the fence next to the dam and alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) and the blueback herring (Alosa © ERIC ENGBRETSON 8 July/August 2013 • aestivalis). The appearance and life history of these two species while the juveniles spend the remainder of spring and a good are so similar that we group them together as “river herring” and portion of the summer in freshwater, feeding and growing.

  • New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program Biennial Report: Fiscal Years 2016-2017
    New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program Biennial Report: Fiscal Years 2016-2017 DRAFT The purpose of the Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP), established in 1988 and defined in RSA 483, is to protect certain New Hampshire rivers, called designated rivers, for their outstanding natural and cultural resources. The program is administered by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) and uses a two-tier approach to manage and protect rivers at the state and local levels through the advisement of the state Rivers Management Advisory Committee (RMAC) and the Local River Management Advisory Committees (LACs). As of June 30, 2017, there were 18 rivers or river segments designated under RSA 483 totaling 990 river miles and representing 126 towns, places, and State Parks. These 18 rivers had over 200 volunteers in 21 LACs overseeing their management (the Connecticut River has multiple LACs due to its length). One full time and one part-time staff administer the Rivers Program, with an additional full-time staff administering the Instream Flow Program. The RMPP is primarily a volunteer-based program, and most of its achievements are the result of the work of the volunteer members of the RMAC and the LACs. The Governor and Council appointed RMAC is composed of seventeen members representing various business, conservation, public service, and state agency interests. LAC members are nominated by their local communities and appointed by the NHDES Commissioner, and represent interests including local government, business, conservation, recreation, agriculture, and riparian landowners. The time spent by RMAC and LAC volunteers on river protection efforts during Fiscal Years 2016-2017 totals approximately 37,262 hours, and is valued at $927,830.1 RMPP Accomplishments Warner River Nominated to the RMPP: The nomination of the Warner River, flowing through the towns of Bradford, Warner, Sutton, Webster, and Hopkinton, was submitted on June 1, 1 Calculated using the 2016 New Hampshire volunteer rate of $24.90 per hour.

  • Appendix A: Fish
    Appendix A: Fish Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus Federal Listing State Listing SC Global Rank G5 State Rank S5 High Regional Status Photo by NHFG Justification (Reason for Concern in NH) Alewife numbers have declined significantly throughout their range. Commercial landings of river herring, a collective term for alewives and blueback herring, have declined by 93% since 1985 (ASMFC 2009). Dams severely limit accessible anadromous fish spawning habitat, and alewives must use fish ladders for access to most spawning habitat in New Hampshire during spring spawning runs. River herring are a key component of freshwater, estuarine, and marine food webs (Bigelow and Schroeder 1953). They are an important source of prey for many predators, and they contribute nutrients to freshwater ecosystems (Macavoy et al. 2000). Distribution The alewife is found in Atlantic coastal rivers from Newfoundland to North Carolina. It has been introduced into a number of inland waterbodies (Scott and Crossman 1973). In New Hampshire, alewives migrate into the Merrimack River and the seacoast drainages (Scarola 1987). Habitat Adult alewives migrate from the ocean into freshwater spawning habitats with slow moving water, including riverine oxbows, lakes, ponds, and mid‐river sites (Scott and Crossman 1973). Juveniles remain in freshwater until late summer and early fall when they migrate downstream into estuaries and eventually to the ocean. There is little information available on alewife movement and habitat use in the ocean. New Hampshire Wildlife Action Plan Appendix A Fish-21 Appendix A: Fish NH Wildlife Action Plan Habitats ● Large Warmwater Rivers ● Warmwater Lakes and Ponds ● Warmwater Rivers and Streams Distribution Map Current Species and Habitat Condition in New Hampshire Coastal Watersheds: Alewife populations in the coastal watersheds are generally stable or increasing in recent years at fish ladders where river herring and other diadromous species have been monitored since 1979.
