| Notes | Summarizes 25 years of shad tagging studies in Oregon. Summarizes data from the Umpqua/Smith River 1946-1949 and 1969 tagging projects. "The evidence suggests that each river has its own stock of shad. A fish tagged well up any river had little chance of being recaptured, even in later years, in another river. The fish tagged lower in a river, however, were a mixed stock with some of these fish returning to the ocean and migrating to their apparent home stream." (p.17) |
