Sturgeon are large, long-lived fishes that occur and spawn in most navigable rivers in the United States. Few groups of North American fishes have such an extensive range. In North America, sturgeon represent nine taxa in two genera (Acipenser and Scaphirhynchus). Four of these taxa are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Because sturgeon occur in main channels of rivers, they are vulnerable to the effects of flood control, navigation, and hydroelectric projects. For this reason, the U.S. Army of Corps of Engineers has funded studies of sturgeon since the early 1980s. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act directs the Corps to protect the species according to recommendations specified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. However, it is difficult to formulate management strategies with the limited life history information that is available on the species.

This multi-authored symposium volume addresses the vulnerability and continuing decline of numerous sturgeon species and stocks and the intense efforts to manage and protect them. It presents timely, accessible, and directly applicable biological and ecological research leading to more effective conservation and management of North American salmon. Written by scientists, resource managers, and electric utility industry personnel with a shared interest in sturgeon biology and ecology, management, and protection, this book includes life history characteristics relevant to population dynamics, viability, and persistence; upstream and downstream migratory behavior, habitat requirements and local movement; passage technologies; and conservation management and stock enhancement. Most major sturgeon species in America are covered, including shortnose, Atlantic, Gulf, lake and green sturgeon.

There are concerns about the possible negative impacts that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (CE) construction of water resources projects may have on fish and wildlife and their habitat. This report: (1) determined the number of CE civil works projects for which the Corps completed less than 50% of mitigation before starting construction, and (2) established a panel of scientific experts to examine this. This report assesses the quality of each program's guidance: (1) for the 5 stages of mitigation; (2) for 5 attributes -- currency, clarity, completeness, breadth, and viability of the natural and man-made systems into the future; and (3) overall, taking into consideration the stages and attributes. Charts and tables.

Sturgeons are considered “living fossils”, sharing many morphological and biological features with ancestral fish. Furthermore, sturgeons are of the utmost interest from an economic perspective, not only for the caviar but for the flesh. However, the wild populations of the majority of the species are at serious risk of extinction all over the world. So, it is urgent to develop strategies for both farming culture and conservation and recovery in natural habitats. This book provides a comprehensive view of the biology and sustainable development of sturgeons putting emphasis on the Southern Europe autochthonous species such as Acipenser nacarii and Acipenser sturio that share geographical distribution. Other relevant species (such as Huso huso, A. oxyrhinchus, A. ruthenus, A. stellatus) and areas (Germany, Russia, North America) are also considered. The contents are organised in three sections: Taxonomy and Biogeography (including the morphological and genetic analyses that clarify the taxonomy and phylogeny of sturgeons, focused on those from Southern Europe), Biology and Aquaculture (where several aspects of the developmental biology, feeding, and reproduction are considered in relation to the improvement of sturgeon farming), and Recovery and Conservation (that collates and analyses different recovery research actions, the ecology of the rivers for restoration as well as the problems related to the trade of caviar).
