Description:

The Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) is one of 27 species within the family Acipenseridae and one of nine species/subspecies extant in North American waters (Cech and Doroshov 2004). Atlantic sturgeon historically occupied all major river systems along the Atlantic coast between Canada (Bachus 1951) and Florida (Vladykov & Greely 1963), with the Delaware River historically supporting the largest population (Secor and Waldman 1999).
