Overview The Central Valley Project Improvement Act (CVPIA) funds habitat improvement work and associated monitoring in the Central Valley of California to increase salmonid populations in furtherance of meeting CVPIA fish doubling goals. This data package contains three datasets for adult White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) monitoring in the San Joaquin River (SJR) conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office. The primary purpose for this sampling was to capture White Sturgeon and implant acoustic telemetry tags for a tracking project. Therefore, the data are useful for determining when and where White Sturgeon were captured, but they should not be used to determine actual distribution or abundance. SJR_Adult_WST_Set contains data from a sampling program using various methods to catch adult White Sturgeon in the San Joaquin River. Sets were made at targeted locations primarily from March-May in 2012-2018 (other dates were occasionally sampled). SJR_Adult_WST_Catch contains data for individual fish caught via gillnets, trammel nets, setlines, or angling in the San Joaquin River. Species and fork length were recorded for all fish. For White Sturgeon, girth, maturation, tag, and surgery information are provided. SJR_Fish_Taxonomy contains data for fish codes used in the Catch datafile. For each species that was captured, the Species codes are listed with the corresponding Interagency Ecological Program code, common name, taxonomy (Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species), and whether or not the species is native to the region.

This data package contains three datasets for juvenile White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) monitoring in the San Joaquin River (SJR) conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office. After two years of this experimental sampling program, it was discontinued due to low catches of White Sturgeon. SJR_Juvenile_WST_Set Data This dataset contains data on an experimental sampling program using trammel nets and setlines to catch juvenile White Sturgeon in the San Joaquin River. Sets were made at targeted locations from November-January in 2016 and 2017. One White Sturgeon (1000 mm fork length) was captured in a trammel net in 2016. SJR_Juvenile_WST_Catch Data This dataset contains data for individual fish caught in trammel nets or setlines in the San Joaquin River. Species and fork length were recorded for all fish.

This data package contains two datasets for White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) monitoring in the San Joaquin River (SJR) conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office. The objective of this sampling to was determine if White Sturgeon were spawning in the San Joaquin River and to explore where and when spawning occurred, within areas where adult White Sturgeon were known to congregate during the suspected spawning season. SJR_Egg_WST_Set Data This dataset contains data on egg mat sets used to document White Sturgeon spawning in the San Joaquin River. Sets were made at non-random locations from February to May in 2011-2018. In 2017, additional “blitz” sets were used in areas where eggs were detected. Details about set location, timing, and environmental conditions are included, along with the total number eggs of White Sturgeon and other non-sturgeon eggs. SJR_Egg_WST_Catch Data This dataset contains data specific to eggs found in egg mat nets in the San Joaquin River. Across all years, the diameter of eggs (or groups of eggs) were recorded. In 2011 and 2012, efforts were made to describe the developmental stage of White Sturgeon eggs and estimates of spawning timing were sometimes calculated.

This data package contains three datasets for larval White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) monitoring in the San Joaquin River (SJR) conducted by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Lodi Fish and Wildlife Office. SJR_Larval_WST_Set Data: This dataset contains data on an experimental sampling program using boat-mounted drift nets (D-frame nets), a large drift net attached to a stationary pontoon (pontoon net), and otter trawls to catch larval White Sturgeon in the San Joaquin River. Sets were made at targeted locations from March-July in 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017. A total of ten White Sturgeon were captured in 2016 and 11 in 2017, all with D-frame driftnets. SJR_Larval_WST_Catch Data: This dataset contains data for individual fish caught in the San Joaquin River. Species and fork length were recorded for most individuals. SJR_Fish_Taxonomy Data: This dataset contains data for fish codes used in the Catch datafile.

This dataset contains catch data for juvenile Atlantic Sturgeon in the Hudson River from 2003 - 2005. This project was funded by the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) through a reimbursable agreement with the Northeast Fishery Center with the objective of developing a juvenile Atlantic Sturgeon monitoring program which NYSDEC could then continue into the future. A stratified random sampling design was implemented in Newburgh and Haverstraw Bays of the Hudson River with strata consisting of combinations of depth and substrate type. Juvenile Atlantic Sturgeon were captured with gillnets in the spring (March - April) and fall (October - November). The results of this work recommended locations, time of year, and sample sizes for continued monitoring of the juvenile Atlantic Sturgeon into the future.
