River herring are rushing upstream to spawn in their native headwater.

Add to Lightbox

Alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), members of the herring family (Clupea), are migrating upstream for their annual spawning. These are an anadromous fish, which spend most of their lives at sea, but return to spawn in their native river. They are not the same species as the Atlantic Herring which live out their lives in the ocean, but they likely mingle when at sea.
