What is a white sturgeon?

White sturgeon is the largest freshwater fish found in North America. It has been known to reach a length of up to 20 feet (6 meters). White Jesters live along the Pacific coast of North America, from Alaska to northern Mexico. Fishermen usually look for them for commercial purposes and sport. Oregon Sturgeon, California White Sturgeon, Pacific Sturgeon, Sacramento Sturgeon and Columbia Sturgeon are all alternative names for this fish. It has a long, slender body that is not covered by normal scales, but about scutes that are much heavier than typical fish scale. White Jespes have scutets in front of their backs, along their sides and their bostrana ttom. Fish use scutes as a form of protection. Although their preferred habitats have a large amount of salt water, fish tend to live in areas where fresh water sources flow into salt water. They also live on the mouth of large rivers where water has a high salt content.

This fish is a common meal that has been commercially captured for a long time. Meat is popular, but some people also enjoy eggs. Some companies use caviar, a type of food made of different fish eggs.

Sport hunter white sturgeon is popular, although most areas have regulations on the number of white is Sturgeons that can be caught. Limiting size is also common. The regulations are introduced for preservation because the total number of white is Sturgeon over the years. The construction of dams, illegal fishing and pollution had a negative impact on the white sturgeon population.

fish will reach maturity aged 15 to 25 years. Estimates for the life length of the White Jesen have reached up to 100 years. The average life expectancy and growth rate usually depend on the temperature of water and other environmental factors.

Reproduction can occur several times during the life of white sturgeon. At the end of the spring season and early summer, the fish gather to emerge eggs in the rivers withHigh streams and rocky beds. Women can produce anywhere from a hundred thousand to one million eggs at the same time.
