Chapter 5 is entitled The Sturgeon Fisheries of 

 the Delaware. 



1910. Experiments in sturgeon culture. Trans. 

 Am. Fish. Soc. 39:85-91. 



The shortnose sturgeon used in the experiment 

 were from the Delaware River. The experiment 

 showed that shortnose sturgeon can be carried 

 from year to year in ponds 200 or more feet long 

 and proportionately wide and deep, and their 

 eggs can be taken safely in sufficient number to 

 warrant fish cultural work.

 Comm. 3, 426 p. 



It is reported that 70,633 pounds of sturgeon 

 were sold between March 1878 and March 1879 

 and 68,858 pounds between March 1879 and 

 March 1880. Species and size were not men- 

 tioned; therefore, shortnose sturgeon may be in- 

 cluded in the sale.
