Age‐0 sturgeon and shallow water: A local‐ and reach‐scale assessment

Despite the hypothesized benefits to age‐0 Scaphirhynchus sturgeon, the role that slow, shallow water plays during early life history remains uncertain. Although several studies have reported the depths and velocities observed at age‐0 sturgeon capture sites, conditions at larger spatial scales beyond the immediate capture location may also be important. Therefore, the specific objectives of this study were to (a) compare catch among large reaches (26–37 km in length) that varied in the availability of water
