Fascinating!

I remember those alewives piling up on the shores. And bulldozers used to get rid out of them.

It's a bigger shame that the NYSDEC didn't push harder for Atlantic Salmon when they were considering various Pacific species. Atlantics are (were) native to Lake Ontario and are repeat spawners. They're harder to work for hatcheries, but far better for the environment.
