Blog: The downstream dash: Insights into green sturgeon migration strategies
… Recently, the transitional journey from freshwater to brackish environments was studied in juvenile green sturgeon using acoustic telemetry. Tracking sturgeon movement in the Sacramento River allowed the researchers to better understand what might be influencing the migration of these mysterious fish (Poytress, Polansky, & Gruber, 2024). The data gathered by this study improves understanding of the habitat transitions and migration patterns of juvenile green sturgeon, information that is vital for developing management strategies to best support the recovery of this threatened fish species.
