RE: PDF of today's webinar Yes-we initially pointed out to NMFS that Atlantic sturgeon had never been found near Pilgrim. But try to prove something does not exist in an area!From: Imboden, Andy \ 'Sent: Monday, March 26, .012 4:38 PM To: Logan, Dennis

RE: PDF of today's webinar Looking at the survey map, there were only like 2 captures in all of cape cod, both in the winter months. And the estuaries like the Hudson and James Rivers had tons more.From: Logan, Dennis Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 4:14 PM To: Imboden, Andy

RE: PDF of today's webinar Seabrook and Pilgrim intakes are on the coast, and Atlantic sturgeon spawn upriver, almost in freshwater, so they do not spawn very close to the intakes. Indian Point impinges Atlantic sturgeon up to about 1 % or 2 feet long or so, and even at those lengths, they typically stay within the estuaries.

But then, these guys wander a lot; most adults overwinter way up in estuaries, but some overwinter in deep water at sea, too. It seems like behavior is not tightly controlled.

As NMFS said today about spawning:

Atlantic sturgeon is a "data poor" species, and NMFS has not yet clearly described all the spawning populations.

Small populations may exist in rivers around those plants without NMFS knowing.From: Imboden, Andy Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 3:58 PM To: Logan, Dennis
