Data underlying the publication: Historical reconstruction of sturgeon (Acipenser spp.) spatiotemporal distribution and causes for their decline in North-Western Europe

Abstract

This data set has data on historically reported landings and sales of the anadromous sturgeons, Acipenser sturio and A. oxyrinchus, in NW-Europe (especially in the Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt and Ems rivers and the North Sea), in light of evaluating the possibilities for their reintroduction.
