 of the northern coast of New Jersey. Bull. U.S. 

 Fish Comm. 12:365-380. 



Only the common sturgeon is cited. However, in 

 its discussion it is mentioned that small fish 

 called "moose" are sold whole; the name ap- 

 pears to be a corruption of "mammoose" which 

 is current in Delaware Bay, and is applied to 

 young fish that are too small to dress and are 

 usually sold whole. These small sturgeon may 

 be the shortnose species. 



1894. A statistical report of the fisheries of the 

 middle Atlantic states. Bull. U.S. Fish Comm. 

 14:339-467. 



The common sturgeon is included in a list of the 

 important fishes of the middle Atlantic states. 

 However, the species is broken into three 

 groups: sturgeon, mammoose — Delaware River, 

 and moose (young) — New Jersey. The latter two 

 groups most likely include the shortnose stur- 

 geon.

 Hole. Bull. U.S. Fish Comm. 17:85-111. 



The shortnose sturgeon is found in company 

 with the common sturgeon but is less numerous 

 than the latter. It is taken in traps.

Some sturgeon with large roe are caught as late 

 as September, but a large portion of such fish 

 are of the smaller species (A. breuirostrum), 

 locally called "bottlenose."

Shortnose sturgeon are found in this area but 



are not as abundant as the common sturgeon 

 and have undergone the same decrease in recent 

 years. It is probably not recognized by fisher- 

 men as a different species.

The common sturgeon is listed, however the 

 shortnose sturgeon is included in its references. 

 When listing parasites of the common stur- 

 geon, it is noted that the spiny-headed worm, 

 Echinorhynchus attenuatus, is listed for the 

 shortnose sturgeon.
