While collecting larval sturgeon on the Mississippi River for research and release, MDC staff discovered a predatory mayfly trying to eat a larval shovelnose sturgeon.

Ironically, as adults, the bottom-feeding sturgeon eat mayfly larvae as part of their diet. Thank you Joshua Abner for the video. | Missouri Dept. of Conservation

As part of our efforts to restore the St Louis River, Minnesota DNR fisheries stocked 375 fingerling lake sturgeon in the river this week. This is the first time the DNR has stocked sturgeon there since 2000. Lake sturgeon have been documented returning to restored habitat in the river, but because female sturgeon reach reproductive maturity around age 25 and can only spawn every five to seven years, their numbers increase slowly. Adult sturgeon can live to be more than 100 years old and grow to
