Daily fish fact #713

Brazilian menhaden!

Like other menhaden fishes, it is a filter feeder, consuming phytoplankton and sometimes zooplankton. This makes it a very valuable ecosystem fish, as it can connect the lower microscopic levels to the upper macroscopic levels and help lessen the impact of algal blooms!

Osprey in the lower Chesapeake Bay have been experiencing nest failure, leading to a reproductive rate comparable to during the DDT crisis. But unlike during DDT, reproductive failure occurs not at hatching but while young are in the nest.

The culprit? Overfishing of menhaden (a fish species), which Osprey depend on in the lower, more saline portion of the Bay.

"The current fish availability is not high enough to allow osprey to reproduce sustainably. Their young are starving in the nest – most within the first week after hatching."

The menhaden fishery is controversial. A popular bait fish for striped bass and other sportfishing, it is also crucial to many birds of prey along the coast.

In contrast to the lower Bay, Osprey in the upper bay rely on a mix of catfish, shad, and other species. These Osprey are experiencing stable population growth rates.

Bald Eagles, which often kleptoparasitize Ospreys, are also doing well. They are at total capacity in the region: essentially every possible territory is occupied.

Check out the linked article by the Center for Conservation Biology for more information.

My favorite bird of prey, who I feel lucky to spot flying over our streams, many times carrying fish to their nests, now has a reproductive rate WORSE than before the 1980s DDT ban. The culprit? Overfishing of one of the most important fish in the Chesapeake Bay: menhaden. These small fish provide the fat ospreys and especially their chicks depend on. Omega Protein is the one doing most if not all of the menhaden fishing in the bay. The Virginia Marine Resources Commission has failed to protect the bays resources, which harms not only the Osprey, but Striped Bass, Northern Gannets, Brown Pelicans, and Great Blue Herons.
