First shad fisherman, first seal

With the low number of all anadromous fisheries, predators are having a serious impact.

That seal might be following the Shad right now. Thanks.

I was interested in the topic, so I looked up predation by sea lions on American shad. One article mentioned that sea lions may actually prefer shad to salmon, which is very interesting to me, anyway! I don't think we've ever had to worry about shad numbers. I'm confident we can all share.
