Sturgeon Conservation

Read about Sturgeon Conservation, in particular white sturgeon of the Fraser River.

The White Sturgeon population in the Fraser River is thriving. Catch & Release regulations over the past several decades have allowed the fish to breed relatively uninhibited and now monsters from 6-11 feet are not unheard of.

Yves Bisson has taken a large role in the preservation of the Fraser River White Sturgeon since he become part of the volunteer tagging program. He has personally scanned (and tagged when appropriate) over 19,000 fish.
