White sturgeon — size comparison — facts and sources
The white sturgeon occurs along western North America’s coast and in its large rivers. Some populations use estuaries and coastal waters, while others are landlocked. Adults may travel long river distances during breeding migrations.
Smaller fish take invertebrates, while larger ones more readily eat fish. Bony scutes and an underside mouth with four barbels reveal its relationship to other sturgeons.
