Observations of handling trauma of Columbia River adult white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus Richardson, 1836, to assess spawning sanctuary success

Abstract: Summary A sanctuary targeting the time and space occupied by reproductively active white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus, during spawning can be an effective method for reducing angling‐related stressors. A catch and release (C&R) fishery targeting over the legal limit (oversize; ≥137 cm fork length) white sturgeon had been intensifying since 1990 and grew in popularity through the 2000s in the lower Columbia River. A research project to describe the reproductive structure of the adult white sturgeon populat… Show more

“…For data collected by monitoring programs to have the highest relevance, the spatial and temporal scales appropriate for scientific investigation and management must also be time and geographiccontext specific. For example, the management of White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) in the Columbia River varies by reservoir or river segment and season [40,41]. The effects of hydropower development on White Sturgeon vary spatially and temporally as well, so the spatial and temporal context of the data needed to understand the effects needs to be considered.…”

“…; Halvorson et al. ). The apparent lack of deep hooking in White Sturgeon fisheries coupled with the knowledge that metal ingestion is relatively common suggests that the ingestion does not stem directly from angling but rather indirectly, with White Sturgeon presumably ingesting baited hooks that have broken off on the river bottom (Lamansky et al.…”

“…In the Hell's Canyon reach of the Snake River in Idaho, an estimated 15% of White Sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus have angling tackle in their digestive system (Idaho Power Company ), and the presence of such metal has been documented in many other sections of the Snake and Columbia rivers (Idaho Power Company ; Halvorson et al. ). However, deep hooking while fishing with bait for this benthic‐feeding fish appears to be extremely rare (i.e., 0.5%: Lamansky et al.…”
