Report Sturgeon Sightings –
Helen Domske, Associate Director for the New York Sea Grant
Great Lakes program at the University of Buffalo – and a coordinator for this
State of Lake Erie meeting for 15 years – concluded the evening by emphasizing
the importance that the angling community can have in monitoring sturgeon in the
Great Lakes. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has only a small amount of time
to devote to field studies for lake sturgeon and anglers can be the eyes for
them to observe fish spawning or other important activities. If you are out
fishing and observe or catch a lake sturgeon, you are asked to consider
collecting the following information: location (GPS coordinates, nearest town,
etc.); date and time of sighting; activity being performed (fishing, diving,
etc.); number of sturgeon; alive or dead; length; body condition; any tags or
markings; and, take a photo of the fish if possible. If you have any questions
or would like to pass this information along, you can do so by contacting the
Lower Great Lakes Fishery Resources Office at 716-691-5456.
Tell your friends you saw it on Outdoors Niagara!
