Description:"The Gulf sturgeon, (Gulf of Mexico sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) was listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1991. This listing was a result of population decline due to heavy fishing mortality in the early twentieth century, as well as probable habitat loss in its historic range (56 FR 49653). Periodic assessments of the Gulf sturgeon are conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The most recent five-year review recommended the threatened listing under the ESA continue given low abundance in several riverine populations, along with continued habitat loss in critical spawning and 'nursery' areas (NMFS and USFWS, 2009)."--Introduction, page 1.
