- Develop transportation guidelines for sturgeon embryos (seedstock), with special emphasis placed on the importance of temperature during shipment.
- Establish final maturation and spawning protocols for Russian sturgeon (A. gueldenstaedti), in Hawaii including short-term storage of semen for spawning synchronization.
