Sturgeon
Sturgeon, along with paddlefish, gar, and bowfins, are all ancient fishes. Twenty-three species of sturgeon survive worldwide; six species live in the large rivers in North America, and two species (Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon) inhabit Virginia’s waters. All are andaromous (spawn in fresh water), but some spend most of their lives in the ocean. A female sturgeon can produce up to 3 million eggs, but as a species, they do not reach maturity until they are old (>10 years of age) . Sturgeon have a suctorial mouth, and feed on the bottom on insects, clams, snails, and other bottom dwelling animals. The body is scaleless with bony plates. Sturgeon are very slow to reproduce and overfishing has diminished their populations. Habitat degradation in the form of water pollution and damming of large rivers has contributed to their decline. Some species are endangered.
The eggs (caviar) and flesh are sold as luxury food items and command extraordinary high prices. The flesh is also superior, especially smoked. Limited farming of white sturgeon is being practiced in California and elsewhere. The shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon are endangered and depleted in Virginia, and efforts are being made for their restoration.
