text: We have found shad taken in the Gulf of Maine in summer full of copepods (chiefly Calanus), and the stomach contents [page 109] of fish from the Nova Scotia Coast of the Bay of Fundy examined by Willey consisted chiefly of the copepod genera Arcatia and Temora with other smaller ones, of mysid shrimps and of the larval stages of barnacles; while Leim found that the shad in the open Bay of Fundy feed chiefly on copepods and mysids.
