Officially Listed as Endangered, Sturgeon Are on the Slow Way Back. January 31, 2012 Brad Sewell. Our oceans are home to any number of remarkable, even bizarre, creatures. Today, one of the countryâs largestâthe Atlantic sturgeonâhas officially been protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
A combination of factors can be blamed for declines in shortnose sturgeon populations. During the 1800s and early 1900s, large tidal rivers, such as the Hudson, served as dumping grounds for pollutants that lead to major oxygen depletions and resulting high fish losses.nlike most fish species, spawning is not a yearly event for most shortnose sturgeon. Males spawn every other year and females every third year. Females lay between 40,000-200,000 eggs which hatch in approximately 13 days.
