Habits of the Shad in Rivers and Ocean Depths
The shad, a warm water fish, moves seasonally from river to sea to spend winters in warmer depths. Spawning occurs on sandy flats near streams as shad wallows. Eggs number from 20 000 to 40 000 per ripe roe, with some carrying up to 100 000. Maturity around four years, with males typically 1 to 6 pounds and roes 3 to 8 pounds. East coast shad prized, especially Choptank river stock. Shad migrate locally within river and adjacent sea rather than long seasonal movements.
