Variation in diet and lipid content of age-0 sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus sp.) in the lower Missouri River basin
June 8, 2026
Shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) and related endangered pallid sturgeon (S. albus) are species of interest in the highly modified Missouri River. Scaphirhynchus sturgeon require long distances of riverine habitat for the development of drifting free embryos along with suitable foraging habitat during the subsequent transition to exogenous feeding. Working with specimens collected by the US Army Corps of Engineers and Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, we examined diet composition of age-0 (
