STURGEON
GEOGRAPHY
Sturgeons
live in rivers, lakes and oceans all around the world. Sturgeon
prefer to live within the cooler Northern Hemisphere, in Canada
, the United States and Russia.
Within
Canada , white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus)
reside west of the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia.
White Sturgeon can utilize marine (ocean/salt water) or fresh
water environments (lakes and rivers). The life cycle of white
sturgeon can include forays into the ocean or can be based
entirely in fresh water, such as the case with white sturgeon
in the Nechako and upper Fraser rivers.
