We are grateful to every organization and individual that has adopted one of the released river herring. Every fish made its own unique path through the Ipswich, and we learned a lot of interesting things about river herring behavior!

                          Thank You For Participating and Adopting a Fish!

We received a lot of support, notes, and emails from the adopters regarding our research. Some came into the field and helped us catch, net, transport, and count the fish. We even had help trying to catch juvenile herring! 

If you want to know more about your adopted river herring and what the results of the study were, contact Holly (413-545-0128) to schedule a presentation.
