Description: Some patterns of river herring migration have changed over time, potentially in response to climate-related factors Migrations for both adult and juvenile river herring are triggered by a range of environmental and biological conditions that remain poorly understood. We used long term datasets, video monitoring, and genetic processing to explore cues and impacts of adult and juvenile migration timing in multiple river herring systems. 

About Dr. Marjadi: Meghna N. Marjadi recently completed her PhD in the Graduate Program of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She is also a Switzer Foundation Fellow. Meghna started working on river herring at MyRWA in 2012 where she set up the first counting program for the Mystic Lakes. Who knew that she would still be working on river herring research over a decade later!
