Freshwater genus

Sturgeon is a freshwater fish whose body length can reach six meters, and its mass is eight hundred kilograms.

The genus of sturgeons has about twenty species of large representatives, the habitat of which, in most cases, is the geographical northern hemisphere. Most often, fish is found in the Caspian and Black Seas.

Sturgeon is appreciated for the refined taste of meat and the appetizing, beloved caviar by many, as well as for the swimming bladders from which high-quality glue is made, and the dorsal string, which is often added to the delicate dish of the squeal.

Red Book of the Russian Federation

For excellent taste and excellent industrial properties, sturgeon is considered one of the most expensive types of river raw materials. In recent decades, cases of total fishing of this valuable fish have become more frequent. It even got to the point that some of its varieties are on the verge of total annihilation.

• forty thousand rubles for a captured Atlantic sturgeon ;
• one hundred thousand rubles and three years in prison for fishing in Siberian lakes;
• three hundred thousand rubles for fishing during the spawning period (plus, it will be necessary to separately pay a fine for each illegally caught fish).
