Description
Threadfin shad is a small fish native to fresh and brackish waters of Northern and Central America. It lives in schools feeding on plankton and prefers large water bodies and reservoirs. Threadfin shad is an important food for larger fish including bass species and catfish, is used as a bait, and was artificially introduced in non-native waters to support larger predatory fish.
