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

Physical Description

Habitat

A fluvial fish which inhabits rivers and their tributaries[1].

Biome: Fresh water , brackish water. Demersal .

Biology

Reproduction

Like other sturgeons , it aggregates in bottom holes in winter and exhibits little activity. In spring , when ice breaks , it rises from the bottom holes and moves upstream for spawning. For spawning, the fish choose the main channel of the river , where the current is fast and the bottom is covered with gravel [2].

Migration

Potamodromous .
