In 2012, NOAA Fisheries received a petition from WildEarth Guardians and Friends of Animals to list 15 foreign sturgeon species under the Endangered Species Act. We conducted a status review and proposed to list 5 species, including Kaluga sturgeon, as endangered under the ESA. In June 2014, we listed Kaluga sturgeon as endangered.
