Sturgeon in the Classroom: Michigan Resources

For the Sturgeon in the Classroom 2020-21 program, we would like to extend our thanks to Michigan State University graduate students who helped rear these fish as part of their research projects at the Black Lake and River Stream Monitoring Facility; the Black Lake Sturgeon for Tomorrow chapter for the food; and the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians for continuing to rear and house the sturgeon fingerlings.

Thank you!
