On Thursday, April 14, come learn about our current state of knowledge of how to restore migratory fish to the Penobscot. Joe Zydlewski is a fisheries scientist and a professor with the USGS and the University of Maine. His work focuses on the study of fish movements and migrations, particularly those of diadromous fish such as Atlantic salmon, American shad, alewife and sea lamprey. Joe has developed a research program that has contributed to understanding how dams and their removal influence fish communities and river ecology. While you’re at Fields Pond Audubon Center you can visit the salmon fry they are hosting there for release to the Kenduskeag River. The presentation will be from 6:00 to 7:30 at the Fields Pond Audubon Center at 216 Fields Pond Rd, Holden, ME 04429. For more information, contact Nancy Jacobson.
