Plankton is the Primary food of all Shad, with the Depletion of it, the shad is the first thing lost in the food chain. When Hurricanes Destroyed Coastal areas all Kinds of animals were released into those areas. Look at the Snakes in south Florida Eating Dogs and Cats even Alligators. Tropicals should never be allowed into this Country under any circumstances
The silvers and bigheads that have taken over our lakes are not bottom feeders. They are filter feeders and feed wherever in the water column the most plankton is.
