Alternate names W-27-08-MA
Purpose Collect adult post-spawn river herring leaving Oyster Pond via Trunk River for analysis of mercury.
Location Oyster Pond, Falmouth, Massachusetts, United States, North America;
Summary Herring were not present in Trunk River during the time we were sampling. A few specimens of mummichogs and other small fish were collected. Since these other fish are not the main focus of the study, they will be analyzed only if time and manpower is available.
Comments Herring migration out of Oyster Pond is not continuous. On this occasion we did not match the migration with our sampling effort. Project = Coastal Geological Processes and Long-Term, Coastal Geological Processes and Long-Term
