This $413,667 federal Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Fish and Aquatic Conservation - Aquatic Invasive Species (CFDA 15.608) program supports research to quantify habitat associations and selection by age-0 lake sturgeon in the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers of Michigan's Laurentian Great Lakes region. Key objectives include mapping instream habitat features, validating existing lake sturgeon habitat suitability indices, and assessing day/night differences...
This $466,615.47 federal Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608) was awarded to Michigan State University for a 3-year period beginning January 1, 2024. The objectives of the grant are to: 1) develop rapid and accurate diagnostic assays to detect Lake Sturgeon Herpesviruses (LSHVs), 2) elucidate the pathogenesis and host tissue targets of LSHVs in Great Lakes Lake Sturgeon,...
The U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service awarded a $459,320 Formula Grant under the State Wildlife Grants (CFDA 15.634) program to the South Dakota Game Fish & Parks Wildlife Division. The grant supports efforts to evaluate the lake sturgeon population in Big Stone Lake and the upper Minnesota River basin, assessing fish movements to determine current population status and the effectiveness of stocking and habitat restoration activities. Key objectives include...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded a $250,107.59 Project Grant under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance Program (CFDA 15.608) to the Grand Rapids Public Museum to conduct spawning abundance estimates for a remnant population of lake sturgeon in the Grand River, MI. The museum will use two methodological approaches - hydroacoustic imaging and genetic analysis of age-0 sturgeon - to establish baseline data on annual spawning abundance, effective...
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 3 awarded West Virginia University a $284,492 cooperative agreement under the Great Lakes Restoration CFDA 15.662 program. The purpose of this project is to genetically determine the sex of individual lake sturgeon to analyze sex ratios across populations in the Lake Superior basin. Under the award, West Virginia University will genetically determine the sex of individual fish by analyzing tissue samples using a new genetic test...
This federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service under the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CFDA 15.615) will provide $361,364 to the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) to support the recovery of endangered lake sturgeon populations in Missouri. The grant will fund efforts to identify and document lake sturgeon spawning and natural recruitment, which is critical to informing future management and recovery efforts for this...
