ECOLOGY AND COEXISTENCE OF SCAPHIRHYNCHUS STURGEON AT MULTIPLE SCALES
… albus) and a congener, the threatened shovelnose sturgeon (S. platorynchus) are two species that depend solely on the large rivers of North America. Both species have experienced declines from habitat loss within the Mississippi River basin and overharvest due to the demand for black …

Sampling Techniques for Juvenile Pallid Sturgeon and the Condition and Food Habits of Sturgeon in the Missouri River Below Fort Randall Dam, South Dakota
… including the pallid sturgeon and the sympatric shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus. Hatchery-reared juvenile pallid sturgeon have been released in this reach of the Missouri River since 2000. However, biologists do not know whether this stretch of river can sustain a viable …

Predation Vulnerability and Trophic Interactions of Pallid Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus
… feeding patterns for pallid sturgeon and shovelnose sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus in the Missouri River. Pallid sturgeon δ15N values (12.8 to 17.0 ‰) were positively related to fork length (325 to 1187 mm FL), and indicated a trophic level of separation between < 500 mm and > 800 mm …

Spatial habitat variation in a Great Plains river: effects on the fish assemblage and food web structure
… flows and sandy substrate (blue sucker and shovelnose sturgeon) are associated with the upper river reaches. Also, there was a higher abundance of omnivorous and planktivorous fish species in the lower more channelized river. The lower reaches contain more tolerant, macrohabitat generalist …

Habitat Selection and Movement of Pallid Sturgeon in Lake Sharpe, South Dakota
… pallid sturgeon may put them in competition with shovelnose sturgeon, Scaphirhynchus platorynchus, for food and/or spawning habitat in reservoirs. Movement was greater at night, 0.50 ± 0.05 km/hr, than day, 0.23 ± 0.04 km/hr. Smaller pallid sturgeon moved less, 0.14 ± 0.06 km/hr, than larger fish, …
