Sturgeon
Acipenseridae
The sturgeon is a group of fish from the family Acipenseridae, found in both freshwater and brackish environments. They have distinctive elongated bodies covered with bony scutes that provide protection. Sturgeons can grow to large sizes, with some species known for their longevity and slow growth rates. They primarily inhabit the Northern Hemisphere, living in rivers and seas across Europe, Asia, and North America. Sturgeons are migratory fish, spending most of their lives in salt or brackish waters and returning to freshwater rivers to spawn. They are valued for their meat and roe, the latter being the source of caviar. Sturgeon farming has expanded worldwide, especially in areas where wild populations are threatened. Due to their ecological and economic importance, research is ongoing to support conservation and sustainable management of these species. Strugeon is under complete protection, fishing is prohibited.
