Sturgeon Acipenser Baeri Siberian
The Siberian sturgeon is a large species that can grow up to two meters long and live to be over 60 years old. The species is anadromous (meaning they migrate up rivers from the sea to spawn) and males become sexually mature between 9 and 25 years while females mature between 16 and 20 years.
They often migrate across most river systems in Northern Russia. There are also non-migratory populations in Lake Baikal, the largest freshwater lake in the world, located in Southern Russia. Feeding primarily on small organisms that live on the bottom of the river such as small worms, insect larvae and crustaceans.
