Amur sturgeon — size comparison — facts and sources
The Amur sturgeon originates in the Amur basin. Browner and greyer forms occur in the river. Adults select sandy or stony-bottomed stretches, seeking food near the substrate.
Bottom organisms are important food. Five rows of bony scutes protect its body, with barbels preceding the underside mouth. Females need not breed annually, so losing large, mature individuals can affect population replenishment for a long time.
