Description

Physical Description

Habitat

Inhabits lakes and pools and runs of medium to large rivers . Most common in clear water over sand or gravel .

Biome: Marine .

Biology

Diet

Moves to the surface at dusk to feed on microcrustaceans, midge larvae, and algae; descends to deeper waters at daybreak[1].

Reproduction

Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Science at Virginia Tech (VT-FIW, 2001) states that "in anadromous populations, females mature a year later than males. A. pseudoharengus matures between the ages of 3 and 5. The fecundity of oceanic female is 48,000 - 360,000 eggs . Landlocked fish mature between 1 and 3 years of age and their fecundity is between 13,200 and 49,200 eggs. Spawning occurs from March to May in tidal freshwater streams and ponds . After spawning, adults return to the sea . Inland populations spawn from April to August in the shallow areas of lakes and streams. Adults pair during spawning and swim in spirals to the surface. The eggs of A. pseudoharengus are non-adhesive and sink to the bottom of calm, still waters ." Spawning occurs at night.

Behavior

Forms schools[1].

Predators:

Preyed upon by birds (gulls, terns, mergansers, cormorants) and fishes [1].
