Sturgeon sampling on the James River in Chesterfield County, Virginia
A male Atlantic sturgeon rests in a live well aboard a research skiff piloted by Matt Balazik of the Virginia Commonwealth University Rice Rivers Center as he captures and tags sturgeon on the James River in Chesterfield County, Va., on Sept. 24, 2024. A USFWS "spaghetti tag" is attached near its fin. Balazik measures each sturgeon and checks for a pit tag, indicating a recaptured fish. Atlantic sturgeon are an endangered species that is slowly recovering after centuries of harvest. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
