the conowingo dam, and to a lesser extent
the conowingo dam, and to a lesser extent the holtwood and safe harbor dams further upstream, stopped migratory fish species, especially american shad, from swimming further up the susquehanna river to spawn. in 1984, a fish capture feature was added at conowingo and shad were trucked upstream above all three dams and ...
