I can't find any current data from the the PIT tagging program. This post by Mark B is from 2013, any updated info available Mark?

"Rutgers professor, Olaf Jensen, will again be attempting to capture A. shad to tag & monitor their movement through the ladder. Rutgers is also taking over the video recording of the spawning run from the underwater viewing room. It is anticipated that this will be a long term commitment by Rutgers to this project. Olaf said that he plans to teach an undergraduate course on fish ladders, next year."


All I saw (and heard about) in abundance at DIP was gizzards, what was your personal experience with american shad?
