Download or read book Recruitment of Atlantic Sturgeon and Shortnose Sturgeon Within the Savannah River Georgia and South Carolina written by Alexander Jeffrey Cummins and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The endangered Atlantic (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) and Shortnose Sturgeons (A. brevirostrum) were once abundant within major rivers along North America's Atlantic coast from the St. John River, Canada and the St. Johns River, Florida. Anthropogenic factors such as over-harvest and habitat degradation have contributed to severe declines in populations of both species throughout their ranges. Despite both species being listed as endangered, significant gaps in scientific literature, particularly population demographics are still present. The objectives of this study are to quantify annual recruitment of juvenile Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeons in the Savannah River, and to determine environmental drivers of recruitment. The results of this study provide baseline abundance data that will be critical in evaluating long-term population trends and for assessing the effects of dredging in the Savannah River. This study provides key information regarding long-term management of endangered Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeon throughout the southern reaches of their range.

Book excerpt: "The current EA analyzed the effects of the proposed Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon research, which will be conducted in the waters of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. Specifically, the funded work would be used for: development, installation, and maintenance of an acoustic receiver array to track the movement of shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon in North Carolina (Roanoke, Chowan, Meherrin, and Cape Fear rivers), South Carolina (Savannah, Combahee, Edisto, Cooper, Santee, and Winyah Bay system), and Georgia (Altamaha, Ogeechee and Satilla rivers) rivers, coastal waters, and the Intracoastal Waterway; acoustic and satellite tagging and monitoring the movements of 20 to 30 (of each species) Atlantic sturgeon and shortnose sturgeon each year (i.e., 60 to 90 total per species over the life of the project) to identify and assess the use of spawning and other habitat and interbasin and coastal movements; development and testing of a less invasive procedure for aging of these two species based on relative DNA telomere length from small tissue samples; and participation in multiple types of stakeholder outreach efforts"--Cover letter.
Download or read book Sturgeon biodiversity and conservation written by Vadim J. Birstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-05-31 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a synthesis of basic biological and conservation data for more than 30 species of sturgeons (Acipenseridae), paddlefishes (Polyodontidae) and their fossil allies in the order Acipenseriformes. Since the Jurassic, the four families of sturgeon-like fish have been restricted to the Holarctic, where until very recently they flourished in most major river systems. Today, however, virtually all species of sturgeons and paddlefishes face difficult conservation issues. Papers in the first section of this volume examine paleontology, systematics, evolution and basic biology of Acipenseriformes. The second section of this volume details current conservation status for most of the world's living species of Acipenseriformes. These papers mark the first attempt to make such a global review of recent data from across the northern hemisphere. The emerging picture is discouraging, for negative anthropogenic impacts range from overfishing to water pollution, to dams and water diversion projects, and all species are threatened to some degree. The third section of the volume considers specific human impacts and responses to conservation issues. These include: the Aral Sea ecological disaster and its impact on native sturgeons; a review of methods for restoring sturgeon populations; the use of molecular techniques in developing conservation strategies; the extreme sensitivity of sturgeons and paddlefishes to overfishing; and the history of a recently convicted caviar poaching ring. The volume's summary reviews the status of all extant species and notes future directions for research on behavior, ecology and population biology that could lead to better co-ordinated international conservation efforts.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the age structure, recruitment, and reproduction of two endangered anadromous fish species, Atlantic Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus) and Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), in the Cooper River in South Carolina. The second marginal pectoral fin ray was evaluated as a new ageing technique, and validated in hatchery-raised Atlantic Sturgeon. There was no significant difference between side sampled (left vs. right pectoral fins) in Atlantic Sturgeon (n = 47, t = 0.000, p = 1.00) and Shortnose Sturgeon (n = 48, t = 1.1985, p = 0.2367). Shortnose Sturgeon sampled were estimated to be between 13 to 41 yrs old (N = 39) and Atlantic Sturgeon sampled were estimated to be between 3 to 21 yrs old (N = 9). Reproductive surveys resulted in one Shortnose Sturgeon egg collected in 2015 and 14 eggs collected in 2017. No Atlantic Sturgeon eggs were collected, but spawning adults were sampled at the spawning site in the Cooper River.
