NEW RICHMOND, MI -- Nearly three dozen sturgeon set for release Saturday in the Kalamazoo River were reared by state Department of Natural Resources for two extra weeks to increase the chance of survival of the fish.
The 35 fish will be released by children during a public event held by the DNR to celebrate the fish's resurgence in the river. The release runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at New Richmond Bridge County Park, located at 5740 Old Allegan Road in Manlius Township.
Lake sturgeon rearing began at the small facility in 2011, but this year marks the first time the fish have been kept longer to increase their chances of survival.
