Non-natal Adult Atlantic Sturgeon Are Common in the Altamaha River Estuary, Georgia, USA
The Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus is an anadromous species with a wide range along the Atlantic coast of North America. Because of overharvest and a variety of other anthropogenic stressors, the numbers of estuaries that currently host successful natural reproduction and the abundances of extant populations are depressed compared to historic numbers, resulting in its listing under the US Endangered Species Act as five Distinct Population Segments (DPS). Atlantic sturgeon are vulnerable to stressors not only within their natal estuaries but also at distant locales because of the highly migratory behavior of their subadult and adult life stages. In this study, we used our previously derived microsatellite DNA catalogue of 13 reference spawning populations and Individual-Based Assignment testing to determine the origin of 202 adult Atlantic sturgeon that were collected from the lower Altamaha River during spring, several months prior to their fall upriver spawning. We found that approximately one third (37%) of these adults assigned to populations other than the Altamaha, almost all (96%) to other populations within the South Atlantic DPS, a finding consistent with our earlier acoustic telemetry results. These results have management implications, including the likelihood of recolonization of depleted populations in the South Atlantic DPS and the compilation of reference population genetic profiles used in population delineation and mixed-stock analyses.
期刊介绍:
Estuaries and Coasts is the journal of the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF). Begun in 1977 as Chesapeake Science, the journal has gradually expanded its scope and circulation. Today, the journal publishes scholarly manuscripts on estuarine and near coastal ecosystems at the interface between the land and the sea where there are tidal fluctuations or sea water is diluted by fresh water. The interface is broadly defined to include estuaries and nearshore coastal waters including lagoons, wetlands, tidal fresh water, shores and beaches, but not the continental shelf. The journal covers research on physical, chemical, geological or biological processes, as well as applications to management of estuaries and coasts. The journal publishes original research findings, reviews and perspectives, techniques, comments, and management applications. Estuaries and Coasts will consider properly carried out studies that present inconclusive findings or document a failed replication of previously published work. Submissions that are primarily descriptive, strongly place-based, or only report on development of models or new methods without detailing their applications fall outside the scope of the journal.
