In Episode 2, we take a closer look at the Pamunkey Tribe’s dynamic and complex relationship with the American Shad. Dr. Troy Tuckey of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science joins us to explain the science behind the decline of this important fish species.
Corrections
- We state American shad feed on insect larvae in the ocean. In fact, they feed on insect larvae when they are juveniles in the rivers just after hatching. While in the ocean they feed on plankton and other small marine invertebrates.
- The manual milking and fertilizing of the shad in the boats of fishermen was a sort of ritual, not something they did because they noticed a decline in shad population. The mechanization of the manual approach and establishment of the hatchery in 1918 was directly tied to the Pamunkey witnessing the shad population's decline.
In July 2020, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) was renamed the Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR).
