Evidence of natural reproduction of Atlantic sturgeon in the Connecticut River from unlikely sources

Abstract: Atlantic Sturgeon is listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act as five Distinct Population Segments (DPS). The “endangered” New York Bight (NYB) DPS is thought to only harbor two populations; one in the Hudson River and a second smaller one in the Delaware River. Historically, the Connecticut River probably supported a spawning population of Atlantic Sturgeon that was believed extirpated many decades ago. In 2014, we successfully collected pre-migratory juvenile specimens from the lower Connecticut River wh… Show more

“…Evaluation of population structuring among all collections in the South Atlantic DPS was determined using F ST calculated in GenAlEx. Data for collections outside of the South Atlantic DPS in the UPGMA tree were from Savoy et al (2017). Therefore, we also calculated F ′ ST using GenoDive, which is a true measure of allelic differentiation between populations; F ′ ST scales F ST values based on observed allelic diversity so that F ′ ST always equals 1 when no alleles are shared.…”
