	Sturgeon River Restoration Project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Built in 1924, the Sturgeon River dam will be removed to restore the area to a similar natural condition.
		Free-flowing water through the gorge will increase the river's dissolved oxygen content and reduce water temperature, renewing habitat for smallmouth bass, cool-water forage fish and the aquatic plant and insect communities that river fish populations depend upon.
		Construction debris was removed from the river and buried in upland areas.

	Sturgeon
		River sturgeons can be separated from the lake sturgeon by the shovelnose snout, 4 lobes on the lower lip, and the fringed barbels.
		River sturgeons often have a long, slender filament on the tail fin, but this filament may be broken off in some individuals.
		Sturgeons in Missouri's two great rivers are suffering from a one-two punch like nothing else in their 150 million-year history.

		I had waded out into the river to cast a fly to a school of frenzied striped bass which were driving blue back herring up to the surface.
		To hear the splash of a sturgeon is one thing to see a sturgeon leap in the distance is another to see one leap close up is nothing short of awesome.
		Sturgeons were an important source of food for them, and today on the Kennebec you can still find small fragments of the sturgeons armor plating in fire pits that are thousands of years old.

	Fraser River Undercurrents Fishing Reports
		The rivers remained in pretty good shape this year and the weather was quite cooperative, so there were not too many days that we couldn't find a place to fish.
		Sturgeon fishing was for the most part very good as long as you put in your time and moved around.
		Once the river starts cooling off, which happened early this year, I like to leave the sturgeon to be and concentrate on other fisheries that are in season.

	how to catch sturgeon in the lower Columbia river
		Sturgeon seem to run somewhat in schools of the same size fish, this will equate to you catching a lot of undersize (shakers) if you happen to be in their area.
		The number one for large rivers will be the Columbia River galvanized anchor made by EZ Marine www.ezmarine.com that has double flukes, and a the chain attached to the center of the main shaft.
		In a sturgeon derby, the year 2000 out of Chinook, WA., where the rules called for fish to be brought to the weigh in while still alive, a fisherman came in with a 59 1/2" fish that had been previously measured and verified by an Oregon DWL officer.

		Sturgeon have a prehistoric appearance, with a skeleton consisting of mostly cartilage and rows of bony plates for scales.
		Sturgeon are highly vulnerable to overfishing because of the long time it takes them to reach breeding maturity and because their large size and sluggish nature make them easy to catch.
		Sturgeon populations in the Columbia and the Sacramento-San Joaquin systems were severely depleted by unrestricted commercial fishing in the last late 1800s, prompting California to close the sturgeon fishery from 1916 until 1955.

	Sturgeon
		Sturgeons are primitive in character, and include many of the largest freshwater fishes in the world.
		Sturgeon are easily distinguished from all other fishes by the rows of armor-like bony plates, or scales, which partially cover the body.
		The pallid sturgeon, which closely resembles the shovelnose, is presently confined to the Missouri River, where it is very infrequently observed.

	POPULATION VIABILITY ANALYSIS OF SNAKE RIVER WHITE STURGEON
		White sturgeon populations in the Columbia and Snake Rivers have been divided into separate populations by a series of dams.
		Anadromous white sturgeon stocks in the lower Columbia River and the Sacramento-San Joaquin rivers and estuaries are in better condition than those farther inland, suggesting that landlocked populations are less successful than those with access to the ocean (DeVore et al.
		The Desired Future Condition for Snake River white sturgeon is to ensure long-term persistence of a self-sustaining population of white sturgeon, not to exclude the optimization of a fishery.

	Michigan Sea Grant > Belle Isle/Detroit River Sturgeon Spawning Habitat Project
		In 2001, a fish tagged in the Detroit River was recovered in the Ohio waters of Lake Erie and an additional 100 juvenile fish, with a unique genetic composition, have been caught in western Lake Erie.
		A lack of suitable spawning habitat appears to be limiting lake sturgeon reproduction, and therefore population restoration, in the Detroit River.
		Construction of sturgeon spawning reefs in areas of high current velocity near Belle Isle, using materials that encourage successful spawning in the St. Lawrence and Fox, Wolf and Winnebago Rivers, should enable sturgeon to reproduce and begin the recovery of a Detroit River population and the support of a western Lake Erie fishery.

		Sturgeon fishermen saw plenty of fish, but in some cases had a hard time hitting them during the first three days of the season.
		Woiderski says the first sturgeon that he took in Wisconsin will always be a little more special to him because his dad and his cousin were fishing with him when he got it and they've fished together for years.
		Crist's sturgeon was the second one caught in the season, and weighed just over 65 pounds and was 63.5 inches long.

		By the time we called it quits, we had hooked 13 sturgeon and landed 11, the largest of which was a fat female that stretched the tape to just over 10 feet and weighed in at an estimated 542 pounds.
		Some sturgeon fans have even targeted sturgeon by back-trolling plugs, by finding where the fish are jumping and working the boat and baits in front of the fish.
		Back-bouncing for sturgeon is a new concept on the Columbia, a river most sturgeon fans dismiss as being too large to pull off this style of bait presentation.

	Unraveling the Mystery of the Kootenai River White Sturgeon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		However, sturgeon are now in trouble world-wide, and many of their problems are due to the fact man has drastically changed the living conditions in waters inhabited by sturgeon.
		Some of the measures could be improving the habitat where the sturgeon are spawning, or rehabilitating the historic spawning area (this is thought to be a reach of river in the vicinity of Bonners Ferry).
		The principal objective of the proposed study is to (1) improve the understanding of the sediment transport-processes in white sturgeon spawning habitat, and (2) develop computer models to assess concepts of these processes and to evaluate the feasibility and potential effects of proposed recovery actions on spawning substrate conditions.

		Sturgeon are among the most ancient of fish and are the source of the world's caviar.
		Green sturgeon have been harvested by Native Americans for hundreds of years (e.g., on the Klamath River in California); however, in recent history, the harvest of this species has increased due to the growth of commercial and sport fisheries.
		Green sturgeon are anadromous; they live much of the time in marine waters, but return to fresh water (rivers) to spawn.

	Kettle River sturgeon tagging: Minnesota DNR
		Since lake sturgeon were not sampled well by the usual river sampling method, electrofishing, biologists needed to find a different way to catch these fish.
		It appears that the lake sturgeon population in the Kettle River is a resident, year-round population.
		Because the population is small and appears to be resident in the Kettle River rather than being a portion of a larger, highly mobile population, it is quite vulnerable to even low harvest levels.

		Unfortunately, overfishing is among the factors that have reduced sturgeon populations.
		Female Atlantic sturgeons do not return to the Hudson to spawn until they are 18 years old, and do not reproduce every year after that.
		Both shortnose and Atlantic sturgeons are bottom feeders, using sensitive, whisker-like barbels on the underside of their snouts to find food - chiefly worms, insects, crustaceans, and small fish - that is sucked up in their tube-like mouths.

		The Kootenai River white sturgeon was listed as an endangered species on 06-09-94 in response to a petition by the Idaho Conservation League, Northern Idaho Audubon Society, and Boundary Backpackers.
		But since the sturgeon’s historic spawning grounds were still not protected, the Center for Biological Diversity and Christians Caring for Creation filed suit on 6-30-99 to make the federal government map out and protect “critical habitat” areas.
		The only hope for the sturgeon is to attain enough water to move upstream out of the so-called “critical habitat” area to the rocky bottomed river stretches that begin at Bonners Ferry.
