Sturgeon

Sturgeons are ancient freshwater and coastal fish that have roamed our rivers and seas for over 200 million years. With their elongated bodies, bony plates called scutes, and distinctive long snouts, they look almost prehistoric. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, sturgeons are famous for producing caviar, but they are also gentle giants, feeding mostly on insects, crustaceans, and small fish along the riverbed. Some species can grow to enormous sizes, making them one of the largest freshwater fish in the world.
