Pollution, dams and other obstructions have laegely wiped out lake sturgeon spawning in many areas.The Toledo Blade reports:
"Spawning by lake sturgeon in Canadian waters of the Detroit River has been confirmed for the first time in 30 years, boosting hopes for continued recovery of this rare, ancient species in the river and adjoining waters of western Lake Erie.
The spawning is occurring on a reef built last fall at the head of Fighting Island, across from Wyandotte, Mich., under an American-Canadian partnership." See full article.
