Title Reproductive Biology of Middle Mississippi River Shovelnose Sturgeon: Insights from Seasonal and Age Variation in Plasma Sex Steroid and Calcium Concentrations
Creator Stahl, Michael T Whitledge, Gregory Kelly, Anita M
Description Shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus are endemic to the Mississippi River drainage and are commercially harvested for roe in several states. Status of shovelnose sturgeon populations throughout much of its range is unknown or declining; Mississippi River stocks are experiencing recruitment overfishing and may be at risk of collapse.
