This U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) grant aims to gather critical data for the management and conservation of white and green sturgeon in California’s Sacramento-San Joaquin Bay-Delta. Specifically, it seeks proposals to investigate the impacts of contaminants on sturgeon growth and reproductive success, evaluate the effects of various fin ray removal methods on growth and survival, and update age and growth information for comparison with historical studies. Applicants should submit a comprehensive proposal including a detailed study design, methodology, budget breakdown by task and year, a timeline, expected deliverables like a final report and digital data, and any cost-share contributions. Demonstrating prior experience in similar research is also required.
