Lake sturgeon

The lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is one of the 27 species of sturgeon globally, and one of the 10 species of sturgeon and paddlefish in North America. It occurs from the Hudson Bay to the Mississippi River basin and is one of the largest freshwater fish in North America, growing to up to 7 ft (2.1 m) in length. The species has historically and in current times been an important sustenance and sports fishery target; overfishing has contributed to its current IUCN classification as an Endangered species. Lake sturgeon play a fundamental role in Native American culture, spirituality, and way of life.
