1 9 3 6 A Partial Bibliography for the Sturgeon Family Acipenseridae · Eric R. Anderson Fisheries Research Report No. 1936 December 9, 1985 MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES FISHERIES DIVISION Fisheries Research Report 1936 December 9, 1985 A PARTIAL BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE STURGEON FAMILY ACIPENSERIDAE Eric R. Anderson 2 INTRODUCTION Sturgeon are large, primitive fishes that mature late, are long-lived, and occur in both freshwater and marine systems throughout the world. The bibliography presented here consists of 288 references divided into systematics and distribution, biology, management, morphology, physiology, and fish health for 23 species of the genera Acipenser, Huso, Pseudoscaphirhynchus, and Scaphirhvnchus. In the biology section, references are further subdivided into general biology, reproduction, feeding and locomotion, early life history, and age and growth. In the management section, references are subdivided into fishery history, population dynamics, and cultural practices. Within each section references are arranged in alphabetical order by the author's surname. 3 SYSTEMATICS AND DISTRIBUTION Bailey, R. M., and F. B. Cross. 1954.
