Lake sturgeon migrate to their spawning habitat mid-May through June. They spawn in riffles, shallow sections of rivers with fast, tumbling water. The river current washes the gravel stream bottom free of silt and provides oxygen for the eggs. In order to naturally reproduce, sturgeon need a way to reach these quality spawning areas. In 1999, the Minnesota DNR began reconnecting rivers by removing dams and replacing them with natural “rock arch rapids.” Dam modifications create and provide acces

Just in time for #earthday 💧Lake sturgeon have done it again! This is the fourth year in a row spawning in the wild has been seen by these endangered fish. The first spawning activity of 2025 was just confirmed Monday, April 21 at Maple Island access, just below the Melvin Price Lock and Dam in West Alton. Spawning behavior seen four years in a row indicates the fish seem to be consistently reproducing in the wild and that the decades-long recovery effort is moving toward success. This amazing

Eight years ago, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources along with its partners started stocking lake sturgeon into the upper Minnesota River watershed, reintroducing the species after its disappearance in the mid 1900s. Check out how they've grown 👇 Each year, our fisheries biologists use specialized large-mesh gill nets to capture lake sturgeon and evaluate the success of the reintroduction program. Since 2014, we have stocked around 4,000 lake sturgeon fingerlings annually. After measurin

Check out this work to burgeon the sturgeon in the Red River Basin! 🐟 The DNR, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Red Lake Nation and White Earth Nation recently completed a lake sturgeon egg take operation along the Rainy River to support recovery efforts in the Red River Basin in Minnesota. The egg take operation is key to the restoration success of this dinosaur-like fish, which grows slowly and can live to be more than 150 years old. The Minnesota state record sturgeon was six-and-a-half feet

Recent Lake Sturgeon spawning observed below the Melvin Price Locks and Dam. Lake Sturgeon spawning is dependent on temperature, velocity and substrate. Females have only been observed spawning one other time at this location. Biologists, utilizing partners and the #SustainableRiversProject as a resource, have been monitoring this state endangered species and are excited to see successful spawning occurring. #MissouriDepartmentofConservation #USACE #lakesturgeon #MississippiRiver | St. Louis Dis

Meet the lake sturgeon, one of the oldest and most remarkable fish in the Great Lakes! 🐟✨ These bottom-dwelling “gentle giants” migrate between rivers, Lake St. Clair, and the Great Lakes, using their sensitive barbels to vacuum up tiny prey along the lakebed. Although Great Lakes populations once plummeted to just 1% of historic numbers, the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers now support an estimated 30,000 sturgeon, a rare conservation success story. With armored plates instead of scales and lifesp
