Officials are happy to report an "iconic" fish that was found in one New York river for the first time in over 50 years "are rebounding in New York State."

On Friday, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced the release of the 2021 Lake Sturgeon Population Assessment Status Report.

The report demonstrates that the lake sturgeon population in the Upper St. Lawrence River has exceeded crucial metrics set forth in the Lake Sturgeon Recovery Plan for adult spawning and juvenile recruitment, officials say.

"Lake sturgeon are rebounding in New York State, and that's great news," Seggos stated. "This progress is possible because of the work of dedicated staff at DEC, and our strong partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Geological Survey, Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, New York Power Authority, and Cornell University. Together, we have secured funding, raised and released sturgeon, and used science to track our success, and DEC looks forward to continuing these effective collaborations."
