2001
Wakeford, Anne
Gulf sturgeon are anadromous. They spend thecooler months (October or November through Marchor April) in estuarine or marine habitats, where theyfeed on benthic organisms such as isopods, amphipods,lancets, molluscs, crabs, grass shrimp, and marineworms (Mason and Clugston, 1993). In the spring, gulfsturgeon return to their natal river, where the sexuallymature sturgeon spawn, and the population spendsthe next 6–8 months there (Odenkirk, 1989; Foster,1993; Clugston et al., 1995; Fox et al., 2000). The conservation plan detailed in this documentwill be used to aid recovery of gulf sturgeon populationsthroughout the state of Florida and could be amodel for other gulf states to use. (106pp.)
