Abstract:
Atlantic sturgeon populations, once abundant along the east coast and North Carolina, declined until a moratorium was declared in 1991. Fish specimens collected in Albermarle Sound and the Cape Fear River were examined. Snout shortening was observed in the sturgeon but reasons for this are still unknown.
