Acipenser oxyrinchus; acoustics; anthropogenic activities; coasts; estuaries; habitat preferences; habitats; juveniles; overfishing; population dynamics; rivers; spawning; Delaware River; North America
Abstract:
... The Atlantic Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus historically supported a significant commercial fishery along the eastern coast of North America. However, overfishing led to substantial population declines with contributions from other anthropogenic impacts, including vessel strikes and contaminants that continue to impede recovery. Our work is the first to estimate the abundance of early ju ...

Abstract:
... Environmental cues that are associated with individual movement of threatened Gulf Sturgeon from upriver areas to nearshore and offshore winter feeding areas have been described throughout much of their range in the Gulf of Mexico. In this study, we focus on small‐scale movement of Gulf Sturgeon between summer ‘holding’ areas and the fall staging area in the Pascagoula River system (Mississippi, U ...

Abstract:
... As a long-lived and late-maturing species, Atlantic Sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus are susceptible to overharvest, which makes knowledge concerning their age and growth essential to sustainable management. The Saint John River, New Brunswick, and the St. Lawrence River, Quebec, support the two remaining commercial fisheries for Atlantic Sturgeon in North America; however, the relationship between a ...

Abstract:
... Historically the Chesapeake Bay supported a large population of Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus , but loss of suitable spawning habitat and overfishing coincided with dramatic in-system declines throughout the 20th century. Atlantic sturgeon harvest moratoriums were implemented in 1974 for Virginia waters and were expanded coastwide in 1998. In 1997, researchers became aware that commercial ...

For inconsistently or intermittently breeding species, the breeding sex ratio (BSR) and adult sex ratio (ASR), both reported as the proportion of males, can be quite different. The entire adult population of some ...

Abstract:
... Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), also known as Baltic sturgeon, is considered extinct in German waters. Fish‐rearing for conservation purposes largely relies on classical hatchery technology focusing on traits like survival and growth in captivity but rarely focusing on subsequent life in the wild, lacking skills such as foraging or anti‐predation behavior. Predation is hence a major fact ...
