Lake Sturgeon population assessment, Manistee River, Michigan

    We are currently assessing the lake sturgeon spawning population in the Manistee Lake and River, Michigan.  In addition, we are monitoring lake sturgeon movement patterns within the lake and river.  Our goal is to correlate sturgeon movement patterns with habitat (abiotic and biotic) features.
