Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) have experienced large population declines due to overfishing, habitat degradation, and pollution. Due to these factors, lake sturgeon were extirpated in the Maumee River watershed (Ohio, USA). In 2018, a 20-year reintroduction program began that aims to establish a self-sustaining population in the Maumee River. To understand the potential success of the reintroduction program, our objectives were to estimate post-stocking survival of reintroduced juvenile lake sturgeon (age-0 to age-1).
