Evan Baker - “Management Plan for the Acipenseridae of Missouri” (session 9) Sturgeon are a species of fish with a long, prominent snout, featuring a mouth on its underside located behind dangling barbels, with lips that consist of fleshy lobes, and whose bodies are covered in rows of bony plates instead of scales. Missouri is home to three species of Sturgeon, which are all members of the Acipenseridae family, representing two genera, the Acipenser with one species and the Scaphirhynchus with two species. However, Missouri’s populations have been in decline since the 1900’s due to overfishing, damming of rivers, as well as slow growth and a late maturity for reproduction. The American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) is an example of how proper management can bring a dwindling population back from the brink of extinction to what is now a healthy and vibrant population. Located almost exclusively in lakes, swamps, freshwater rivers, and marshes in the southeastern area of the United States, the current population numbers are seeing conflicts with humans increase in overlapping areas. Management is needed to alleviate negative interactions with humans in developed areas while keeping the population flourishing within their home range.
