Volunteers will help MDC staff set and run trotlines in the St. Joseph area of the Missouri River and help collect mature fish for pallid restoration efforts.
St. Joseph, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) seeks volunteers to help with pallid sturgeon collection on the Missouri River near St. Joseph. The pallid sturgeon is a primitive fish that swam when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. They are an endangered species. MDC biologists are doing fish population studies on the river, and any wild pallid sturgeon collected are taken to fish hatcheries and provide brood stock for spawning. Hatchery-reared pallids will be released in the river.
