Status of scientific knowledge of North American sturgeon
Haxton, T. J.; Sulak, K.; Hildebrand, L.
Sturgeon and paddlefish were historically the dominant large fishes in all major Northern American Rivers. All ten species have been affected the past 150 years from anthropogenic stressors such that they are considered imperiled by various jurisdictions. Status papers have been presented for...
Status of Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque 1817) in North America
Bruch, R. M.; Haxton, T. J.; Koenigs, R.; Welsh, A.; Kerr, S. J.
Lake Sturgeon is a potamodromous, fluvial‐dependent species from the family Acipenseridae, and one of the largest freshwater fishes within its North American range extending to the Great lakes, Mississippi River, and Hudson Bay drainages. Like almost all other sturgeon species, Lake Sturgeon...
History of the founding and early years of the North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish Society (NASPS)

Status of White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus Richardson, 1863) throughout the species range, threats to survival, and prognosis for the future
Hildebrand, L. R.; Drauch Schreier, A.; Lepla, K.; McAdam, S. O.; McLellan, J.; Parsley, M. J.; Paragamian, V. L.; Young, S.P.
White Sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus (WS), are distributed throughout three major river basins on the West Coast of North America: the Sacramento‐San Joaquin, Columbia, and Fraser River drainages. Considered the largest North American freshwater fish, some WS use estuarine habitat and make...
Life history and status of Shortnose Sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum LeSueur, 1818)
Kynard, B.; Bolden, S.; Kieffer, M.; Collins, M.; Brundage, H.; Hilton, E. J.; Litvak, M.; Kinnison, M. T.; King, T.; Peterson, D.
Shortnose Sturgeon = SNS (Acipenser brevirostrum) is a small diadromous species with most populations living in large Atlantic coast rivers and estuaries of North America from New Brunswick, Canada, to GA, USA. There are no naturally land‐locked populations, so all populations require access to...

Biology and life history of Green Sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris Ayres, 1854): state of the science
Moser, M. L.; Israel, J. A.; Neuman, M.; Lindley, S. T.; Erickson, D. L.; McCovey, B. W.; Klimley, A. P.
Green Sturgeon (GRS) Acipenser medirostris is one of the most marine‐oriented of all sturgeons. It primarily spawns in the Sacramento, Klamath, and Rogue Rivers, yet lives most of its life in estuarine and coastal waters along the West Coast of North America. Spawning is only known to occur in...
Status of the imperiled Alabama Sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus suttkusi Williams and Clemmer, 1991)
Kuhajda, B. R.; Rider, S. J.
The Alabama Sturgeon (ALS) Scaphirhynchus suttkusi has the smallest maximum size (78 cm FL), most restricted native range (the Mobile Basin, restricted to large coastal plain rivers), and the lowest abundance of any North American sturgeon. This riverine species is currently restricted to 524 RKM...
