Finding Frost Fish

Where and when are tomcod found in Maine coastal streams?

Why this matters

Tomcod, also known as frost fish, move into Maine’s rivers and streams to spawn during the winter. We would like to know where, when, and how many tomcod are spawning to help us better understand how well they are doing here in Maine.
