  1. Predation Vulnerability and Trophic Interactions of Pallid Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus

    French, William E.

    Recruitment of the federally endangered pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus in the Missouri River has been absent or at levels too low to sustain the population. Mortality of juvenile fishes is often greatest during their first year of life, and may have large implications for recruitment dynamics …

  3. The Development and Application of a Larval Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) Bioenergetics Model

    Heironimus, Laura B.

    <p>Pallid Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus are native fish of the Missouri and lower Mississippi River basins and currently listed as an endangered species under the Federal Endangered Species Act. As a result of anthropogenic alterations within the Missouri River, including dredging, channelization, …

  5. Influence of Diet and Environmental Variation on Physiological Responses of Juvenile Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus)

    Meyer, Hilary A.

    Shortly after the pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus was listed as federally endangered in 1990, a recovery plan was drafted to outline efforts to restore the pallid sturgeon throughout its’ native range in the Missouri and middle and lower Mississippi rivers. The plan set forth a number of …

  6. Modeling Spatial Distribution and Habitat Associations for Juvenile Pallid Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) in the Missouri River

    Spindler, Bryan D.

    Monitoring and assessment of the endangered pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus population is essential to the recovery of the species. Movement and distribution of pallid sturgeon is generally documented using radio telemetry methods. However, because of the time and cost involved in tracking …
