However, the use of <br />any habitat by a species (in this case pallid sturgeon) depends on their ability to access <br />that habitat. Therefore, the habitats must be connected by suitable corridors before they <br />can be utilized effectively. <br />PS-2: Water related activities above the Loup River do/do not impact pallid sturgeon habitat. <br />Regular movement and migration of pallid sturgeon into and out of the lower Platte River <br />are indicators of the health of the population and the connectedness of the habitats. If <br />water related activities contribute flows to the lower Platte River they almost certainly <br />would have a positive impact on the use of habitats by pallid sturgeon in the lower Platte <br />River and the connectedness of these habitats. <br />PS-3: Non-Program actions (e.g., harvest, stocking, Missouri River conditions) determine the <br />occurrence of pallid sturgeon the lower Platte River.
