The Iowa Department of Natural Resources announced on Tuesday that the federally endangered pallid sturgeon was collected for the first time from the lower Des Moines River. The discovery of two pallid sturgeon this spring came a week a part during the Iowa DNR’s annual spring sturgeon sampling effort.
This sampling has been conducted since 2014, but until this year, only shovelnose sturgeon, and an occasional lake sturgeon, have been collected.
“To find a pallid sturgeon was a surprise, but to find a second one in nearly the same spot a week later was truly remarkable.”
