“It's kind of Mother's Nature's way of balancing things out. The exploitation rate will be very low this year, which is good for the population. It hastens the rebuilding process.”
“This could call into question every study ever done with sturgeon ages. I may be able to go back and adjust ages and get true mortality rates for the past 60 years. Because we know how many were harvested each year, we'll be able to know how many die from natural causes every year and how that changes over time.”
