During 2001, the Society coordinated with the UCWSRI to raise white sturgeon, which resulted in a release of 9,000 tagged juveniles during spring and summer 2002. For the 2002 brood, 12,000 juveniles were released during spring 2003. This spring 2006, marks the Initiative’s fifth year to release juvenile white sturgeon, and the second year from both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. White sturgeon are generally until spring, when they are tagged and released at about one year of age.
