North America: Atlantic coast from Red Bay, Labrador in Canada to South Carolina in USA; many landlocked populations exist. Individuals with access to ocean are anadromous, ascending coastal rivers during spring spawning migraitons. Native to Lake Ontario; introduced into other Great Lakes via Welland Canal (first taken in Lake Erie in 1931). Introduced elsewhere, including New River in West Virginia and Virginia, and upper Tennessee River system in Tennessee, USA.
北美洲: 大西洋的海岸從聖勞倫斯灣與新斯科舍省到北卡羅萊那州與在溪流與河川中; 也出現於塞內加湖與卡尤加湖中; 引入安大略湖中了, 現在陸封的在那裡與在伊利湖,休倫湖,密西根湖及上游。

生物学特性     字汇 (例如 epibenthic)

Occurs in open water over all bottom types (Ref. 86798). Movement of schooling adults apparently restricted to coastal areas proximal to natal estuaries (Ref. 4639). They migrate up rivers and even small streams to spawn in lakes and quiet stretches of rivers, then return to sea shortly after spawning (Ref. 4639); landlocked populations also ascend affluent rivers and streams. Larvae remain in vicinity of spawning grounds, forming schools at sizes less than 10 mm TL, within one to two weeks after hatching (Ref. 4639), then descend in summer and autumn or even as late as November or December. Feed on shrimps and small fishes; the young on diatoms, copepods and ostracods while in rivers. Utilized fresh, dried or salted, smoked and frozen; eaten fried (Ref. 9988). Also used for crab and lobster bait and sometimes for pet food (Ref. 9988). Parasites found are Acanthocephala, cestodes, trematodes and copepods. Overfishing, pollution and impassable dams cause the decline of stocks (Ref. 37032).

局限于显然的沿岸区域的群游性成鱼的运动接近出生的河口。 (参考文献 4639) 他们向上洄游到河,甚至小的溪流到产卵于湖与河川平静的支流中, 然后回车大海在产卵之后不久;(参考文献 4639) 陆封的族群也上溯到支流与溪流。 仔鱼逗留在被小于 10 mm TL 时形成鱼群的产卵场的邻近区域,在孵化 (参考文献 4639) 之后的一到二个星期里面,然后在夏天与秋天下降或者甚至更晚到十一月或十二月。 捕食虾与小鱼; 在河中的时候幼鱼捕食硅藻,桡脚类的动物与介形虫。 生鲜使用, 乾燥或盐腌, 烟熏与冷冻的; 油炸后食用.(参考文献 9988) 也用来螃蟹与龙虾诱饵与有时用作宠物饲料.(参考文献 9988) 发现的寄生虫是棘头虫,条虫,吸虫与桡脚类的动物。 捕捞过度, 污染与不能通行的水坝引起分枝的减少。 (参考文献 37032)

Adults migrate up rivers and even small streams, spawn in lakes and quiet stretches of rivers; landlocked populations also ascend affluent rivers and streams; the fry descend in summer and autumn or even as late as November or December. Spawning activity has been observed both diurnally and nocturnally, but with greatest activity at night (Ref. 38797). Spawning activity stops above 27.8°C (Ref. 38881). Freshwater populations mature earlier and at a smaller average size than saltwater populations (Ref. 4639).北美洲: 大西洋的海岸從聖勞倫斯灣與新斯科舍省到北卡羅萊那州與在溪流與河川中; 也出現於塞內加湖與卡尤加湖中; 引入安大略湖中了, 現在陸封的在那裡與在伊利湖,休倫湖,密西根湖及上游。
