There have been ongoing problems with Gulf Sturgeon causing injuries toward recreational boaters in the Suwannee river. This incident involved a leaping sturgeon knocking out a woman on a personal water craft. She suffered from four detached fingers, a ruptured spleen and lost tooth. Only three fingers were able to be reattached.
Problems with sturgeon - which are large,
prehistoric-looking fish with hard plates along their backs that can
grow up to 8 feet long and up to 200 pounds - came to a head last year
when 10 people were injured in accidents caused by the jumping fish.
The Gulf Sturgeon migrate into the waterway in march to spawn and remain in the river throughout the summer. Researchers aren't sure why they jump.
