Native fish of the Delaware River include the American eel and the American shad. The two species share the river; eels run out of the Delaware in late fall evenings to spawn in the Sargasso Sea, and shad come into the Delaware in early spring, spawning up as far as Harvard and Shinhopple on the East Branch and sometimes entering the lower Beaverkill.
