Some of these interactions may have positive <br />influences while others may have a negative influence on the pallid sturgeon population. <br />Continued assessment of the fish assemblage in the lower Platte River is one approach to <br />determining the relative suitability of this reach for pallid sturgeon. <br />PS-2: Water related activities above the Loup River do/do not impact pallid sturgeon habitat. <br />Water related activities above the Loup River will likely influence the composition of <br />predator and competitor populations for pallid sturgeon by changing the habitat in the <br />lower Platte River. Actions which increase water clarity will probably benefit fishes <br />which may prey on pallid sturgeon life stages. In addition, increased water clarity would
