We developed conversion formulas for standard length to fork length, fork length to total length, and standard length to total length for 30 pallid sturgeons Scaphirhynchus albus from the upper Missouri River. Formulas for converting length to weight were also developed for each of the length measurements. We add our length and weight data on 30 specimens of this rare species to the literature.
