Description:Previous and ongoing studies in Mississippi support the contention that the Pascagoula drainage is an important habitat for the federally listed Gulf sturgeon "Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi". Research has focused almost exclusively on the freshwater portion of the life history. The goal of this project was to initiate studies of the marine component of gulf sturgeon biology. First, the authors determined movements and habitat use of 14 sonic- tagged Gulf sturgeon in coastal waters of Mississippi and adjoining regions. They also attached an additional 15 sonic tags to Gulf sturgeon captured during the spring and summer. The fish will move into coastal waters in fall and winter.
