Sevruga Sturgeon
The Sevruga Sturgeon is a species of sturgeon found primarily in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea basins. It is known for its smaller size compared to other sturgeon species, typically reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. Sevruga Sturgeon is highly valued for its roe, which is processed into caviar, a luxury food product.
This fish is characterized by its slender body and distinctive, pointed snout. Like other sturgeons, it is a bottom feeder, primarily consuming invertebrates and small fish. Due to overfishing and habitat loss, the Sevruga Sturgeon is considered endangered, prompting conservation efforts to protect its populations.
