Learn about the pallid sturgeon and its incredible journey from a path of extinction to increasing abundance in Missouri's large rivers.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Pallid sturgeon, part of a family of fish that originated during the Cretaceous period 70 million years ago, has remained essentially unchanged. However, the pallid sturgeon has been brought to the brink of extinction in the last century due to overharvest and loss of habitat. Discover nature and learn more about this fish at the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) Runge Nature Center’s Aquatic Relatives of the Dinosaurs program from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 7.
