Negative Effect of Zebra Mussels on Foraging and Habitat Use by Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) [PDF]
1. Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) are threatened or endangered throughout much of their range. Juvenile sturgeon utilize sandy and silty habitats extensively during their growth.

Genetic assessment of lake sturgeon stocking practices in two Lake Superior tributaries [PDF]
Lake sturgeon were extirpated throughout much of their historic range in the early 1900s due to overharvest, habitat degradation, and reduced water quality.

Abstract Animal growth is a fundamental component of population dynamics, which is closely tied to mortality, fecundity, and maturation. As a result, estimating growth often serves as the basis of population assessments. In fish, analysing growth typically involves fitting a growth model to age‐at‐length data derived from counting growth rings in ...

Abstract River connectivity is crucial for the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) to complete its complex life cycle, which is vital for upstream recruitment to the declining population of this critically endangered catadromous fish. Eel passes, or ladders, are frequently installed on riverine structures, such as dams and weirs, to mitigate barrier ...

Depth Preferences of Sturgeon In Critical Habitat [PDF]
The depth and vertical movements of Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) and shortnose sturgeon (Acispenser brevirostrum) at Bucks Ledge (river kilometer 21) in the Penobscot River were examined to investigate sturgeon depth preferences ...

Abstract Routine observations of blood smears have repeatedly shown that triploid fish have a greater proportion of erythrocytes with nuclear segmentation (ENS) than diploids; however, there is as yet no understanding of why this is the case and whether it affects erythrocyte function.

CHARACTERIZATION OF GULF STURGEON DIEL AND SEASONAL ACTIVITY IN THE PENSACOLA BAY SYSTEM, FLORIDA [PDF]
We assess temporal and spatial distribution and diel variability in activity of Gulf of Mexico sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi in the Pensacola Bay system, Florida, using stationary ultrasonic telemetry.

Abstract Developing non‐lethal techniques to estimate parasite infection is critical for studying disease ecology in wild animals. We tested the effectiveness of coelomic ultrasonographic examination and plasma enzyme markers to detect liver infection with bass tapeworms Proteocephalus ambloplitis (Leidy 1887) as well as the effectiveness of ultrasound

Replacement of fish meal by earthworm meal (Eiseniafoetida) in Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenserbearii) diet and its effect on growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass composition [PDF]
A 12-week feeding trial was carried out to assess the effect of fish meal replacement by earthworm meal (Eiseniafoetida) on growth performance, feed efficiency and carcass composition of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenserbaerii).

Comparative assessment of lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) spawning habitat on the upper Black River and Sturgeon River [PDF]
Biology and Ecology of FishesLake Sturgeon are key members of freshwater lake system as well as culturally significant. In the northern part of Michigan's lower peninsula efforts to encourage the growth of the sturgeon population in Burt lake have been ...
