Florencia,
In response to your query, forwarded your message for distribution to many biologists working with sturgeon via the sturgeon listserve. I expect you've gotten at least a few responses from members of the listserve.
I have not worked with white sturgeon myself but hope to do a comparative study of white and green sturgeon early morphological development sometime in the next few years (as I have for Atlantic, shortnose, river, and pallid sturgeon). Both federal and state agencies in the northwestern U.S. are heavily involved in study or management of white sturgeon. Also, biologists at the University of California at Davis are very much involved in culture and related study of white sturgeon. There is a directory of biologists working with sturgeon that is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Panama City Field Office, Panama city, Florida, 32405-3721 (phone 904-763-1059). I suggest you request a copy of the latest directory (1994?).
