Juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) habitat and distribution in the Lower Fraser River, downstream of Hope, BC, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to identify and characterize juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) habitat in the Lower Fraser River downstream of Hope, BC, Canada. A secondary objective was to estimate the juvenile white sturgeon population in the Lower Fraser River. A total of 1867 white sturgeon was captured with gill nets at 26 sites in the Lower Fraser River. The greatest numbers of sturgeon were caught in three sloughs; all but three sturgeon were captured in the June to August period. These three sloughs all had water deeper than 5 m and current that was multidirectional. Turbidity ranged greatly from 1.5 NTU (Nephelometric Units) to 67.0 NTU and the substrate of most sites was fine sediments, fine sand, silt and clay. Stomach contents were mysid shrimp (Mysidacea), midge larvae (Chironomidae) and peamouth chub (Mylocheilus caurinus). We identified three of 26 sites with appreciable numbers of juvenile sturgeon, identified water quality parameters of these sites, identified any incidental species that might be prey and also determined that between 1985 and 1993 the juvenile white sturgeon population had declined.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
