Lake sturgeon will be released in Ohio waters

Wildlife officials in Ohio are releasing sturgeon into several rivers, including the Scioto River, as part of ongoing conservation efforts for the species, which are currently listed as endangered in the state. These efforts involve stocking programs using fish from the St. Clair River, with releases beginning in 2018 and continuing for about 20 years to promote population recovery. The goal is to restore viable spawning populations, as recent stockings have increased sightings, though it will take time to verify reproductive success.
