Past and Present Delaware River Shad Fishery and Considerations for Its Future by James Enoch Sykes,Burton A. Lehman Pdf
A study of Delaware River shad was part of an investigation to supply the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission with information useful in rehabiliting the shad runs of the Atlantic coast. The Delaware River fishery has declined from a peak production of 19 million pounds in 1896 to a level at which it is economically unfeasible for fishermen to operate.
