Buckley, J. and B. Kynard (1985). Yearly movements of shortnose sturgeons in the Connecticut River. Transactions of the American Fisheries Society. 114:813- 820.
Movements of shortnose sturgeon Acipenser brevirostrum, an endangered species, were studied for 5 years by radio telemetry and mark-recapture in the lower 140 km of the Connecticut River to Long Island Sound, Ninety fish (range, 54-97 cm fork length; 1.2-9.2 kg weight) were equipped with radio transmitters. The cycle of annual movement consisted of several up- and downriver migrations between four discrete areas that were used for summer feeding, spawning, and overwintering.
