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

RE: PDF of today's webinarSeabrook and Pilgrim intakes are on the coast, and Atlantic sturgeon spawn upriver, almost in freshwater, sothey do not spawn very close to the intakes.

Indian Point impinges Atlantic sturgeon up to about 1 % or 2 feetlong or so, and even at those lengths, they typically stay within the estuaries.

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

As NMFS said today about spawning:

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

Small populations may exist in rivers around those plants withoutNMFS knowing.From: Imboden, AndySent: Monday, March 26, 2012 3:58 PMTo: Logan, Dennis
