THE HUDSON RIVER
Animals of the Algae
The Hudson River is teeming with life. Known for its fish such as the migrating, anadromous striped bass which migrates from the Atlantic Ocean to the Hudson each spring to breed; and the catadromous eel, which, when mature, migrates from the Hudson to the Sargasso Sea to breed, fish are at the top of the food chain in the river. However there are countless organisms supporting the fish population: the invertebrates, which include the snails, jelly fish, comb jellies, crabs, shrimp, and zooplankton, the tiny, often microscopic organisms which live on the algae attached to docks, lines, pilings and rocks along the shores of the Hudson River.
