🌐🧪🦤 We reveal that #AtlanticSturgeon #Acipenseroxyrinchus produce low frequency thunder-like sounds associated with #spawning, similar to #lakesturgeon #Acipenserfulvescens. This finding lays the groundwork for passive acoustic monitoring of this endangered species. bit.ly/esr_58_1

Happy Sturgeon Moon! 🌝🎑🦈🥮🌚

Preferring murky, deep seafloors - that's where they thrive! Docile nature, bottomfeeder with a thick hide. A metaphor and sturdy spirit, undetectable by prying eyes.

On 7/15, #TwinPorts Climate Conversations is talking about raising GIANTS!

Okay, maybe this little guy doesn't scream "giant," or anything but "adorable." But 1 day, this small #LakeSturgeon will be one of the largest fish in #LakeSuperior w/a BIG role to play.🧪

In MKE, that same spirit lives on—groups like @mkeriverkeeper.bsky.social, UWM SFS, & Riveredge Nature Center are working to restore #lakesturgeon to Lake Michigan through habitat restoration, research & community partnerships.

We caught 9 more #LakeSturgeon on Tuesday as part of our #sturgeon survey in the #StClairRiver! 4 of the fish were recaptures and 6 were juveniles. Big fish of the day was 63.7 inches and 79 lbs.

Take a moment to think about our amazing ecosystems and critters across Canada from #Coast2Coast2Coast through the #Prairies and #GreatLakes

Which is/are YOUR favourite? Mine? Gotta be #LakeSturgeon and #ThreehornWartyback

this was a cool study from my MSc!

We wanted to know if #lakesturgeon would prioritize safety from predators or foraging opportunities~quite the dilemma for young fish

Baby lake sturgeon chose to keep eating when faced with a predator cue, but it did stress them out! 🧪🌎👩🏻‍🔬🐠

Never thought we'd be name-dropped in @people magazine! We're loving all the news coverage about the incredible #lakesturgeon found in the Detroit River. These gentle giants belong in the Great Lakes, and we're working hard to make sure they thrive: https://buff.ly/3f0tiLk

We finally cracked $1M USD in external funding! [It takes a while when your research relies mostly on existing data and simulation] Our latest project is an exciting collaboration with @usfws and @UMNcbs to model the population-level impacts of #contaminants on #LakeSturgeon
