Video Title:

SERC Choptank herring spawning, May 2014

Description:

Every spring, river herring swim up the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay to spawn. The Fish and Invertebrate Ecology Lab of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) have been studying the habitat use of river herring. In this video, you can see the splashing caused by spawning activities of Blueback Herring in the Choptank River. Alewife and Blueback Herring are the two kinds of river herring that spawn in Chesapeake Bay tributaries. Want to learn more about SERC's herring research?
