Gulf Sturgeon of the Pascagoula River: Post-Katrina Assessment of Seasonal Usage of the Lower Estuary
… the greatest possibility for the survival of the Gulf sturgeon, <em>Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi</em> within Mississippi. The focus of this project was to determine the routes Gulf sturgeon take through the lower Pascagoula River which splits at river kilometer 23 into two distinct distributaries. …

Genetic Population Structure and Effective Number of Breeders in Systems Across the Range of the Gulf Sturgeon
<p>Gulf sturgeon (<em>Acipenser oxyicnhus desotoi</em>) are a large, anadromous fish belonging to an ancient lineage that diverged as early as 400 MYA. Overfishing for meat and caviar during the early 1900’s reduced their range and abundance and continued habitat destruction and mortality have …

Gulf Sturgeon (<i>Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi</i>) Pre-Restoration Occupancy Patterns on Ship Island, Mississippi Sound with an Evaluation of Designated Critical Habitat Use by Eastern and Western Population Segments
… designated for federally threatened, anadromous Gulf Sturgeon (GS) to aid in population recovery. This study examined GS occupancy, habitat use, and movement through critical habitat monitored by the Ship Island (SI) acoustic array during overwintering periods from 2011 to 2015 prior to MsCIP SI …
