Herman -I have survived- the Sturgeon

An icon. The most famous fish. Survivor. Biggest fish in my private pond. Some say ancient, I prefer prehistoric. Please don't tap on the glass.

We had help this week from #UniversityofAlabama & #AuburnUniversity students tagging #GulfSturgeon related to fish passage in the #PeaRiver. Great to work with our future biologists and colleagues that will carry the conservation torch forward. #fishtagging #fishbiology #sturgeon

@LangurLover I thought it was the passage of time…

Sportfishing generates $230.5B for the U.S. economy, supports 1.1M jobs, and fuels $70B in wages. And the sportfishing community gives back—$2B/year goes to conservation and habitat restoration.

Ever wondered what NOAA Fisheries does?

We're responsible for the stewardship of our ocean resources and their habitat. We ensure U.S. fisheries are productive and sustainable—providing Americans with jobs, recreation, and safe seafood.

There is a low pressure system over the Pacific Ocean that is affecting the West Coast. GOES-W satellite shows the defined cyclonic circulation associated with a low. Look at that spin! ☔️☁️ Get the most up-to-date forecast for your area at https://t.co/3SFImIwQhQ. #ORWX #WAWX

@MyODFW You know I don’t travel well, best I do is send photos.

Come see us at the ODFW booth in building C across from the kayak pond! There is so much to do at our booth this year!

Probably wouldn't walk barefoot through this either, but at least you could with less of a chance of tetanus. Culverts with more natural streambed-like bottoms are better overall for fish migration and especially for lamprey. 9/9

[Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife @MyODFW]

I mean, come on, would you walk barefoot through this? Lamprey would have to do this with their mouths. 8/9

[Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife @MyODFW]

It's #GarWeek / #AncientFishesWeek, and we're taking a look at lamprey first. One thing to know about lamprey for this set of stories is that they are not strong swimmers, compared to other fish, and they cannot jump. Their suction-cup mouths help pull them upstream. 1/9

[Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife @MyODFW]

Probably the biggest difference between sturgeon and other fish species in our rivers is the fact that sturgeon have lifespans far more similar to humans than most other fish. A sturgeon can live to be more than a hundred years old.
