Early life stages of pallid sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus are rarely collected. and thus information on their biology and ecology is extremely limited. We sampled 75 larval pallid sturgeon (25-110 mm) and 148 larval shovelnose sturgeon S. platorynchus (15-95 mm) by trawl from the upper Missouri River (USA) in 2019. https://www.getpureroutine.com/
