Notes

  1. A note on life-stage terminology: The terms used to describe the different life-stages of fish are often imprecise and may vary between fields of study. In this volume we have used the following conventions: embryo—period between fertilization and hatch during which the zygote undergoes cleavage; larva—period between hatch and the completion of metamorphosis during which the organism is free swimming yet may be reliant on the yolk-sac; juvenile—period between metamorphosis and the onset of maturation (puberty) during which the sturgeon resides in fresh and estuarine waters; subadult—period between puberty and full maturity, characterized as large juveniles before to the initiation of spawning, during which the fish enter the coastal ocean; adult—mature fish.
