Population Studies
There are a variety of migrating fish species in the marine waters of the Hudson River. DEC conducts many studies and manages several projects to monitor and track the populations and movements of these marine fish. By tracking and monitoring fish populations, DEC seeks to gain insight on fish migration, the status of certain populations of species, and how environmental factors and fishing can affect certain populations. With this information, DEC can more effectively manage and protect these important species.
