The endangered Atlantic (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus) and Shortnose Sturgeons (A. brevirostrum) were once abundant within major rivers along North Americas Atlantic coast from the St. John River, Canada and the St. Johns River, Florida. Anthropogenic factors such as over-harvest and habitat degradation have contributed to severe declines in populations of both species throughout their ranges. Despite both species being listed as endangered, significant gaps in scientific literature, particularly population demographics are still present. The objectives of this study are to quantify annual recruitment of juvenile Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeons in the Savannah River, and to determine environmental drivers of recruitment. The results of this study provide baseline abundance data that will be critical in evaluating long-term population trends and for assessing the effects of dredging in the Savannah River. This study provides key information regarding long-term management of endangered Atlantic and Shortnose Sturgeon throughout the southern reaches of their range.
