Prehistoric lake sturgeon denied endangered species status, US wildlife officials say
Fox News
Federal wildlife officials have decided not to place lake sturgeon on the endangered species list, allowing annual spearing seasons in some states to continue.
The center argued that overharvesting and deteriorating habitat have "severely depleted" the species. Dams block access to spawning and rearing habitat and water pollution and diversions have done "irreparable harm," the center said.
