STURGEON: ANCIENT SURVIVORS OF THE DEEP
A one-hour public television documentary First Place Non-Commercial Broadcast - Texas Outdoor Writers Association Excellence In Craft
Hosted by James Drury
Theme Music by Timothy Drury - Keyboard/Vocalist For The Eagles
James Drury, star of the long running 1960s TV series, "The Virginian", traveled with us to multiple locations in the U.S. during our two years in production. We accumulated a wealth of information to share, including breakthroughs in DNA research, habitat and population status, artificial propagation, and tagging and restocking programs. From the Hudson River in New York to the Columbia River Gorge in Washington to multiple other locations including Missouri, Wisconsin, Ohio, the Dakotas, Montana, and California we were able to document the life history cycle of sturgeon in North America. The documentary includes interviews with world renowned scientists, researchers, fish biologists, and conservationists from around the world. We also acquired rare underwater footage of the endangered pallid sturgeon, footage of the lake sturgeon spearing activity on the frozen Lake Winnebago, WI., and underwater spawning activity of lake sturgeon in the Wolf River.
THE Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi)
See rare underwater footage of Gulf sturgeon, and even rarer footage of a Gulf sturgeon leaping out of the water. Former news anchor, Leslie Merrill McCombs, hosts this half-hour documentary about the life history cycle and biology of this amazing creature, their habitat requirements, the problems that threaten their future, and the conservation efforts underway to recover the species.
Sturgeons of the mississippi river drainage
Lake sturgeon, pallid sturgeon, and shovelnose sturgeon are the focus of this half-hour documentary. Includes rare underwater footage of the endangered pallid sturgeon. Narration by former news anchor, Leslie Merrill McCombs.lake sturgeon: dinosaurs of the great lakes
“The Lake Sturgeon: Dinosaurs of the Great Lakes” explores the life history and biology of the Great Lakes lake sturgeon, an aquatic dinosaur struggling to survive in modern times. The plight of the lake sturgeon serves to remind us of the long term detrimental effects of overharvest, pollution, and human encroachment where there is total disregard for the resource and environment.
River invaders: the scourge of zebra mussels
Zebra mussels are considered to be the most threatening of all exotic species that have invaded North American waters. They are spreading rapidly throughout the rivers of the United States, and have moved into inland lakes and reservoirs. If you haven't heard of zebra mussels by now, you will. It's just a matter of time.the alligator gar: predator or prey?
Eerie tales are often told about alligator gars and their vicious attacks on swimmers...about children who were dragged down river never to be seen again. Is it fact, or is it fiction? Can alligator gars really breathe air? Discover the answers to these and other puzzling questions about alligator gars in this informative half-hour documentary. The facts will amaze you.the paddlefish: an american treasure
Alex Cord, a talented actor of stage and screen, hosts this one-hour special documenting the biology and life history cycle of paddlefish. Mr. Cord is best known for his role in the 1980s TV series, "Air Wolf". He was nominated for a Best Actor Award by the London Critics, and has starred in 25 feature films, and over 300 television shows. This video highlights the undercover sting operation by special agents with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and Missouri Department of Conservation.
The video also features the biology and ecology of this amazing animal, and includes rare underwater footage of paddlefish in the wild. Other highlights include interviews with the experts, a c-section surgery, hatchery rearing, population and habitat assessments, snagging, and much more.America's crayfish: crawling in troubled waters
This half-hour documentary is about the biology and ecology of crayfish in U.S. waters; their role in food chains, commercial harvest for human consumption, environmental threats from water pollution and habitat destruction, and the need to protect this keystone species. See rare underwater footage of the endangered cave crayfish, Cambarus aculabrum, a crayfish species on the verge of extinction. It is found in only two places in the world - Logan Cave and Bear Hollow Cave in northwest Arkansas.
A vanishing melody: the call of the piping plover
The cryptic coloring of piping plovers makes them difficult to see in their natural surroundings; clearly an advantage against predators, but a disadvantage when it comes to public interest and attention. This one hour documentary focuses on the biology of piping plovers, their habitat needs, and their plight as unwitting competitors in the race for beachfront property, river sandbars, and prairie wetlands.One Good tern deserves another
Least terns are migratory shorebirds that nest on sandbars in large rivers in the U.S. As a result of regulated flows of the river for navigation and flood control, and increasing recreational use of sandbars, important nesting habitat for least terns has declined to critical levels. Least terns have been listed as an Endangered Species (ESA).
