Results of the present study emphasize the necessity of determining species specific acoustic target strength (TS)-length relationships for sturgeon before fisheries hydroacoustics studies of sturgeon (or many other species) can be pursued. Using conventional log (base 10) equation structure, TS-TL equations were derived with acceptable goodness of fit for data describing Atlantic sturgeon in two distinct size categories. However, when the data for all tested sturgeon were combined to produce ...
