Description:"The current EA analyzed the effects of the proposed Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon research in Maine. Specifically, the funded work would be used to: collect information using regionally standardized methods to estimate population size of sturgeon in major river systems; characterize intersystem movements-including determining which coastal river systems are being used, what paths fish take to traverse between them, and the timing and duration of such movements; determine feeding habitat and trophic position of sturgeon in each river; determine the sex and stage of maturity using circulating levels of reproductive hormones; determine whether elemental analysis of scutes can be used to accurately reconstruct the river of juvenile origin for subadult and adult fish captured in a given system; expand regional collaboration among Gulf of Maine (GoM) researchers to place demographic connectivity and correspondence into its broader research and management context"--Cover letter.
