HERRING 09-04-1631991
NIANTIC, CT The Connecticut DEP traps alewife herring at Bride Brook to restock depleted herring runs in other streams around the state. A worker checks a fish counter used to monitor the number of fish passing through a fish ladder in the brook. Anadromous herring runs have declined sharply in Connecticut over the past two decades.
