Shortnose Sturgeon Abundance Model
May 9, 2025
R Code to run shortnose sturgeon population estimates for Higgs et al. 2025
The purpose of this software is to estimate the abundance of overwintering shortnose sturgeon using acoustic telemetry and side-scan sonar data. The code is based on work conducted on the Hudson River, New York, but could be readily adapted to other applications with a similar study design.

For endangered shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), the ability to estimate and monitor population size is critical for tracking species’ recovery. Yet, contemporary abundance estimates have not been completed for many shortnose sturgeon populations, largely owing to the difficulty in using traditional abundance estimators for sturgeons. Here, we estimate the adult shortnose...
