Sturgeon Occurrence and Behavior in the Outer Continental Shelf
A new study aims to collect information on sturgeon temporal and spatial distribution to inform offshore wind energy and sand leasing operations.
Gulf Sturgeon
Gulf Sturgeon
Gulf sturgeon have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, and still maintain their five rows of armor scutes, a cartilaginous skeleton, a long snout, a suction mouth, and no teeth. These anadromous fish move between freshwater rivers (Pearl River in Louisiana/Mississippi and the Suwannee River in Florida) and saltwater (Gulf of Mexico), depending on the time of year. These federally protected fish are known for their summer jumping, especially because they can grow up to 7.5 feet long and weigh up to 200 pounds.

Strategic Habitat Conservation for Gulf Sturgeon
WARC researchers partnered with Gulf Sturgeon decision makers and biologists to develop a Bayesian network model that uses habitat characteristics to predict the quantity of juvenile winter foraging habitat under alternative river discharge and timing of juvenile arrival scenarios.
Gulf Sturgeon Ecological Investigations
The Gulf sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi, has been listed as Threatened since 1991. Beginning in 1986, USGS has been investigating sturgeon population abundance and ecology throughout its range, but mostly in the Suwannee River.
Preserving Gulf Sturgeon—A Fish Tale of Gargantuan Proportions
It's hard to imagine a better job than doing fieldwork with the USGS Coastal Ecology crew as they work to keep tabs on the Gulf sturgeon population.
