The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe has been working with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and USGS on lake sturgeon restoration in the St. Lawrence and tributaries including the St. Regis River. Eggs and sperm of these fish have been collected and hatchery reared sturgeon are stocked to reestablish populations in historic sturgeon waters. The survival and habitat use by the stocked fish is being assessed.
