Alabama Shad: Southwest Georgia Fisheries Management staff confirmed the natural reproduction of Alabama shad in the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) river basin. Gill nets designed to target those fish were set in Lake Seminole during the annual sport fish gill net survey. Alabama shad are a state threatened species that make migration runs into freshwater rivers to spawn after which the offspring migrate to the ocean to mature. This is the first natural reproduction documented by Fisheries Management staff in the past few years.
