Thirty-one shortnose sturgeons were caught in 

 the summers of 1971 and 1972. Of nine fish 

 preserved for study, six were stated to be longer 

 than any previously documented and four ex- 

 ceeded the maximum total length previously 

 postulated, but they overlooked Gorham's 

 (1971) report of a 1,295-mm specimen. These 

 specimens represent the second population of 

 this species found in the Gulf of Maine.
