Description
Family Acipenseridae
Cold to temperate waters of the Northern Hemisphere. Anadromous or restricted to freshwater . Body with 5 rows of scutes . Mouth inferior and protractile. Four barbels anterior to mouth. Less than 50 gill rakers. Adults toothless. Large swim bladder. Attain 4.2 m or longer . Important for their meat and roe . Nearly all species are endangered or threatened.The family Acipenseridae belongs to the Class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes ) and the Order Acipenseriformes. It contains 4 genera and 23 species. It may be found in Marine , Brackish , and Freshwater environments and is primarily Peripheral/diadromous. Some members of this family are used in the aquarium trade. Reproductively, most members of this family are nonguarders. The main mode of swimming of adult fish in this family is subcarangiform. Compared with other fish, the activity level of this family tends to be sluggish. Members of this family have been dated back to the Cretaceous period. This family may be found from 78° n to 24° s and 180° w to 180° e. Etymology of this family name : Latin, acipenser = sturgeon . 1853
Habitat
A long-lived species which is found mainly over sand and mud . May be found at depths of 10 to 40 meters.
Biome: Fresh water , brackish water, saltwater . Demersal .
Ecology: The Adriatic sturgeon
is a diadromus species, spawning in fresh water
after a marine
period of growth during which it remains near the shore
, at the mouths
of rivers
, between 10 to 40 m.
The upstream
migration into Italian
rivers occurs during the first months of the year. Occurs over sandy or muddy bottoms
.
The eggs
are usually laid in still waters
along the borders
of rivers, but they are said to be occasionally deposited in brackish water not far from the sea
. It remains in freshwater
until October.[1]
