anadrofish: Anadromous fish population responses to dams
Diadromous fishes world-wide experienced precipitous declines during the 19 th and 20 th centuries due to a combination of overfishing, pollution, and freshwater habitat loss through construction of dams (Limburg & Waldman, 2009).Following wide-spread fishing closures and large-scale remediation of many historical pollution sources, dams in coastal rivers remain as the largest tractable impediment to population recovery for many of these species (Waldman & Quinn, 2022).In some cases, dams reduce access to as much as 95% of freshwater and rearing habitat (Hall et al., 2011).These effects are especially pronounced for species that rely on long-distance migrations to spawning and rearing habitat upstream of barriers such as various alosines (herrings; e.g., American shad Alosa sapidissima, alewife
