The bibliography on sturgeons presented below is our starting effort only. We realize that the task to create a complete sturgeon bibliography for more than 100 years is enormous and challenging. To begin, we decided to focus our attention on papers published during the 1980s-1990s. The list of titles of papers before that period will grow step by step and in parallel with our main goal, the 1980s-1990s. Later, we hope to collect a complete bibliography for the 1960s-1970s, and so on. We will not include papers on the Polyodontidae since an almost complete bibliography on this family has been published recently by Drs. Todd Georgi and Guido Dingerkus (Georgii, T.A. and Dingerkus G. 1996. The Bibliography of Paddlefishes. Family Polyodontidae. Doan College, Crete, NE. 72 pp.). We hope that in the near future we will merge our efforts with those of Dr. Georgi's and put the whole bibliography on sturgeons and paddlefishes on the same web site. We would greatly appreciate receiving our users' opinion on the better organization of the bibliography.
