The depth of the Raritan can definitely be a limiting factor in large, sustainable, anadromous populations. What the studies should conclude is the Raritan is a beautiful river with great potential for recreational use along with having a diverse fish population.
The posts on this site actually give the public more information about the river and the fish that live in it. NJF conducts its own survey with information provided to fishermen directly without any state or federal funding. Does anyone want information about the fish in the Raritan? Just post your question on this site and get an answer immediately without the results of someone's scientific study!
