Characterizing Changes in the Population Dynamics of American Shad in the Connecticut River
Jason Boucher
Northeast Fisheries Science Center
Wednesday, September 28, 2016
3:30 pm - 4:30 pm
SMAST II, Room 157
200 Mill Road, Fairhaven, MA
The American shad is an anadromous clupeid with a wide latitudinal distribution, spanning from Florida to Canada. Over this range the species exhibits latitudinal variation in a number of vital rates, including growth, fecundity, and parity, resulting in distinct populations by river segregated due to natal homing tendencies. In 2015, we were tasked with sampling the Connecticut River population to identify potential changes in vital rates since the previous landmark study in the 1970's. Adult shad were collected at four locations along the river throughout the spawning season: at the river mouth (Old Lyme, CT), at Holyoke Dam (Hadley, MA), at the Cabot Power Station (Turners Falls, MA), and at the Vernon Power Station (Vernon, VT). The spawning migration began in late April, while temperatures were still below the known 14C threshold, and continued through the end of June. Throughout the spawning season, females were consistently larger (both length and weight) and older than males; however, there was a higher ratio of males at all sites except Holyoke. Sex-specific ages were not different between locations or time periods, indicating a well-mixed population throughout the spawning season. Spawning condition females, including running-ripe individuals, were collected at the most upstream sampling site (southern Vermont), providing evidence for the first time that increased fish passage to the historic habitat is being utilized for spawning. While the population has increased in size over the past forty years, truncated age distributions combined with only 2% parity indicate that American shad in the Connecticut River may no longer be robust to environmental variability.

ORAL COMPREHENSIVE EXAM FOR DOCTORAL CANDIDACY BY: John Summerfield
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: TOPIC: A GEOMETRIC APPROACH TO SAR/BISAR PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND FLIGHTPATH SYNTHESIS
LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processing is a signal processing technique that emulates a very large antenna aperture by moving a physically small antenna over a much larger spatial distance. The effective aperture is the spatial distance covered by the synthetic aperture platform, and thus flightpath design is critical to system imaging performance. Conventional synthetic aperture imaging systems are monostatic system where the transmitter and receiver are co-located. The field of mathematics known as differential geometry provides a framework for describing curves and surfaces and offers a powerful tool for the analysis and synthesis of bistatic synthetic aperture (BiSAR) flightpaths. A synthetic aperture imaging system like all other imaging systems has limited resolution which is defined by the spatial frequency bandwidth. The system imaging performance can be defined by evaluating the system response to a point target. The point spread function or ambiguity function of a system describes the imaging performance in the spatial frequency domain known as k-space and incorporates widely used performance metrics such as resolution, peak to side lobe ratio and integrated side lobe ratio. The proposed goal is to use differential geometry to study different flightpaths for developing a tool for the analysis and synthesis of bistatic synthetic aperture flightpaths.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
