Kaluga — size comparison — facts and sources
The kaluga is a huge sturgeon of the Amur basin and estuary. Different populations occupy different river-system sections, some also using brackish estuarine waters. Adults also occur in lakes connected to rivers.
Diet changes with growth, shifting from invertebrates to fish, including larger prey. Mature individuals do not spawn annually; intervals may lengthen with age.
