We successfully validated the Fatmeter as a tool to obtain precise, non-lethal estimates of whole-body energetic reserves in captive adult pallid sturgeon. We recommend the implementation of Fatmeter measurements in monitoring programs for free-living sturgeon and include measurement sites and formulae to estimate whole-body lipid and energy using raw measurements.
