Within the last two weeks, the hatchery has received two new endangered adult pallid sturgeon! They were caught from the Missouri River and brought to us by Missouri Department of Conservation. We are delighted to have another male (sturgeon on the right) and female (sturgeon on left) to add to our group. Blood, ultrasound, and endoscopy work was completed on these two pallids and our other potential spawners today. We currently have a total of 9 females and 2 males, and have room for more adults. The newcomers make a fantastic addition to our broodstock collection, and we are eager to keep them happy and healthy for the spring spawning season.View the slideshow below to see other photos from the day.
