Hello fish workers.. Has anyone out there explored in detail the biomass and/or bioenergetics linkage between riverine and marine environments that is provided by diadromous fish? Further clarification: There is a substantial base of historical information we have found that supports a hypothesis that there formerly were huge migratory populations of fish like American shad that migrated between rivers of the Atlantic coast and the marine environment. The biomass exchange/forage base/ecological implications of these former (pre-1900) populations seems likely to have been very significant. Is anyone aware of past or present study of this subject? Thank you for your interest....
