Contact cshannon@dfg.ca.gov for assistance. - The purpose of this report is to evaluate the dependability of certain taxonomic characters used to identify juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) and green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris). This was a necessary preclude to the start of other sturgeon studies, since previous workers experienced difficulty in identifying juvenile white and green sturgeon in the field. This study is limited in its effectiveness, since only 35 fish were available for examination, and only four of these were green sturgeon. Deep appreciation is extended to various members of the Department of Fish and Game who collected the fish, and to Harold Chadwick for his helpful supervision.</description><enclosure length="355094" type="application/pdf" url="https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=33200" /><guid isPermaLink="false">33200:1</guid><link>https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=33200</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jun 2011 08:01:36 -0700</pubDate><originalPublishedDate>1960-01-01T00:00:00</originalPublishedDate><title>Observations of the systematics of juvenile white sturgeon and green sturgeon</title></item></channel></rss>
