Researchers with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science will embark on October 15 for a 3-and-a-half-week visit to sturgeon collaborators and collections at natural history museums in Russia, Romania; and France. The ultimate goal of the collaborative international study is to resolve the tangled classification of this ancient and threatened group of fishes in order to make more informed conservation decisions.
