Alewife Spawning sighted
May 25, 2011 After terrible Ma.climate change impact and tragedy this week- some good news Date: 5/25/11 Time: 13:18-13:28 Weather: sunny, light breeze, 76F Observations: I observed spawning aggregations of river herring at the outlet of the box culvert. Estimating total # of herring observed was difficult due to water clarity and fish behavior these are minimum estimates.
Taken in Belmont (very close to Cambridge) at DCR owned easement off of Brighton Street just before Statler Road after Hill Estates by DCR pier and culvert.
TWO YEARS OF OBSERVATION WITH ABSENT SPAWNING RESULTS
