Cumberland sturgeon

[SSKY]

The last biologist post that I can recall said that the northern strain and the remnants up the rockcastle do not interbreed. So if that was not true and they can in fact interbreed the strain for natvie walleye is gone/lost,the previous info was posted on this website.If that is true, what is the stocking effort in wood creek for?or planned to do?

[SSKY]

And then again tell us why there is even an effort in non native still water?

He did not say that they could not interbreed, he said they had not done so. That was the purpose of the dna testing. Again, why didn't you ask the man in charge these questions instead of people on a public message board????? Why didn't you ask him about Wood Ck lake???????

I didn't realize "LAKE" Cumberland was their native waters.

Ok, SSKY, are you really that obsessed? You start a thread about sturgeon, and in the second sentence you are off on walleye??/ what's up with that?

I remember Dad catching a sturgeon out of the Ohio river when I was a child. That is a beautiful fish, amazingly adaptive and certainly long lived. I would love to see the population of sturgeon increased.

Ok fine, then i will ask the big question again, If there are enough native walleye that have been propagated which appears can be done to stock a lake where they will likely fail, not in the river system from where they came from It would seem simple to me to stock those fish in the waters that they were native. That makes simple sense to me, does it not?The native sauger are still around in the lake so I would have no doubt that the native walleye could exist if stocked in the numbers that are now stocked and we now seem to have a brood stock to do so if we can stock wood creek. ??
