There are many kinds of sturgeons, among which the bigger ones are bighead carp, European sturgeon and high-headed sturgeon. Although the Chinese sturgeon in China can grow to about two meters, it is still a little small compared with these big guys who can easily grow to five meters.

Sturgeon is one of the earliest vertebrates in existence. Sturgeon belongs to bony fish, Actinidia, sturgeon chondroscleroderma, sturgeon order. We usually say sturgeon refers to sturgeon-shaped fish.

At present, sturgeons are mainly distributed below Jinsha River, the main stream of the Yangtze River in China, and other water systems such as Ganjiang River, Xiangjiang River, Minjiang River, Qiantang River and Pearl River occasionally appear. Abroad, it is found in the mouth of Han River in South Korea, Lijiang and the west side of Kyushu in Japan.

Sturgeon belongs to migratory fish. They live in the sea or rivers as adults, but when the breeding season comes, most of them choose to spawn against the current.
