Fish biologists capture adult shad from the Merrimack and Connecticut Rivers and transport them to the hatchery where tank spawning occurs. The fertilized eggs flow through a drain to a control box where they are collected and placed into egg cylinders hung around tanks. When the shad larvae hatch in about 4 days, they swim into the tanks through chutes at the top of the cylinders. The larvae are marked with oxytetracycline and released after a few days, for a turnaround time of about a week from egg to release in the Merrimack and Charles Rivers. In 2012, the hatchery quadrupled past production for a projected total of 7-8 million shad. Credit: Catherine J. Hibbard/USFWS. Date: 19 June 2012, 11:44:09.
