Re: Raritan river fish ladder numbers:
Actually you are correct, we could STUDY this fish ladder for another 20 years or so and still draw no substantial conclusions.
Look at the data so far: New Jersey Freshwater Fisheries started doing a fish count on the ladder back in 1996 !!! Here we are in 2017 AND still doing fish counts etc. on the same fish ladder, some 20 YEARS LATER !!
Fish have now become a matter of "science" more than anything else and with additional "funding" the research will continue.
