Comments: A deceased and severely decomposed Atlantic sturgeon was retrieved from outside the Salem Circulating Water Intake Structure during routine trash rack cleaning on 02/24/25, at approximately 09:55 AM. After positive identification was made by Environmental Consulting Services personnel, the specimen was measured, photographed, and inspected for tags. No evidence of external tags was found, and no existing PIT tag was indicated. A pelvic fin clip was collected for future DNA analysis. Upon completion of processing, the specimen was placed on ice and transported off-site to the ECSI main office, where it will be stored under refrigeration, awaiting direction on further disposition. The fin clip sample has been placed in cold storage and will be held for aggregated shipment to a designated labortory.
