progeny and development of reproductive products in broodstock. <br />Shovelnose sturgeon should be used as a surrogate in trials <br />unless surplus pallid sturgeon progeny are available. <br />3.2.4. Develop cryopreservation techniques. <br />Cryopreservation of sperm will allow return of the males to the <br />wild and later fertilization of eggs in the hatchery. <br />Cryopreservation techniques also would be developed using <br />shovelnose sturgeon as a surrogate species. <br />3.3. d Reintroduce pallid sturgeon and /or augment existing populations. <br />3.3.1. Conduct reintroduction /augmentation programs in accordance with <br />the stocking plan. <br />Stocking of pallid sturgeon for reintroduction or for <br />augmentation of existing populations will be done in accordance <br />with the pallid sturgeon stocking plan prepared under Task <br />3.1.2. The plan will ensure that genetic integrity of wild <br />populations be maintained, that all stocked fish are tagged, <br />and that stocked populations are monitored. <br />Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) <br />39 <br />
