The goal for the past 40 years has been to recover a self-sustaining population of Lake Superior run sturgeon that call the river here home, but, despite years of stocking, that still hasn't happened. |

This week biologists from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service stocked 375, 6-inch sturgeon fry into the estuary at Duluth’s Chamber’s Grove Park — the river’s first sturgeon stocking since 2000 — in hopes they will grow big and help boost the population. |
