Because of the dams that fracture the river into small sections, there is very little sturgeon natural reproduction in most of the areas.

Lots of problems to overcome. Obviously no intentional harvest is allowed, but a lot of angling mortality. Without the stocking there couldn't be any angling without decimating the population.
