STURGEON - LAKE
Lake Sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is found primarily in the Great Lakes area of North America, but is also found almost as far north as Hudson Bay, and as far south as Louisiana. This sturgeon can be up to nine feet in length. It is now rare in southern waters, but is still common in the northern part of its range. The bottom feeding mouth, barbels near the mouth, and asymmetrical tail help identify sturgeons. Separation of the various sturgeon species frequently requires technical characteristics.
