San Francisco Baykeeper<p>The decline of multiple fish species across the Bay-Delta estuary suggest a common threat: "White sturgeon are the largest North American freshwater fish, Delta smelt are among the smallest North American freshwater fish," as our science director <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@jarosenfield" class="u-url mention">@<span>jarosenfield</span></a></span> said to Maven's Notebook.<br />"One lives one year, the other lives 100 years. They don’t have much in common, but the fact that they're both in decline tells us we're damaging the entire ecosystem. … They need high river flows."<br /><a href="https://mavensnotebook.com/2024/07/11/feature-a-bigger-older-fish-gasping-for-more-water-white-sturgeon-slipping-away/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mavensnotebook.com/2024/07/11/</span><span class="invisible">feature-a-bigger-older-fish-gasping-for-more-water-white-sturgeon-slipping-away/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fish" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fish</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/fishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fishing</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/whitesturgeon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>whitesturgeon</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/deltasmelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>deltasmelt</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/baydelta" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>baydelta</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.social/@RestoreTheDelta" class="u-url mention">@<span>RestoreTheDelta</span></a></span></p>
