Large Scale Movements of Sturgeon in the St. Lawrence River System

This is the OBIS extraction of the Ocean Tracking Network and Englobe Corp (Englobe) Large Scale Movements of Sturgeon in the St. Lawrence River System, consisting of the release tagging metadata, i.e. the location and date when the tagged animal was released, and summarized detection events of tagged individuals.

Abstract:Atlantic Sturgeon and Lake Sturgeon were tagged between 2013 and 2020 for a long term, fine scale monitoring project. The largescale movements of juvenile Atlantic sturgeon remain relatively unknown throughout the St. Lawrence River system and Gulf of St. Lawrence. The acoustic tracking of these previously tagged sturgeon over a large scale and temporal frame aims to (1) study their migratory behaviors and routes and (2) identify important habitats that will contribute to the knowledge base of the species.
