Regulations: protected | Ref: Allardi, J. and P. Keith, 1991
Uses: live export: yes;
Comments: Known from the Gironde-Garonne-Dordogne basin (Ref. 26160, Ref. 51407, Ref. 51442) and the Atlantic coast (Ref. 51346, Ref. 51442). It enters the Gironde-Garonne-Dordogne basin for reproduction (Ref. 51439). Juveniles stay in the fresh- and brackish water for one or two years before moving to the marine environment (Ref. 51439). Capture, transport and commerce are strictly prohibited (Ref. 2163, 26160). Considered endangered (Ref. 30578, 74334) and fully protected since 1982 by a government measure (Ref. 51407, Ref. 51439, Ref. 51442). It has been threatened mostly by gravel extraction on spawning ground and unadapted fishing regulations that lead to overfishing (Ref. 51407, 52787). Other threats are the marine catches and the accidental introduction of Acipenser baeri in the Gironde basin (Ref. 51439). Limited regulatory measures have been implemented to protect certain potential spawning grounds, especially regarding extraction of gravel; public awareness campaigns have been carried out among fishermen, administrators, media and the scientific community which resulted to reduced poaching in the Gironde estuary and many fishermen now report accidental catches and put the fish back into the water (Ref. 26160, Ref. 51346, Ref. 51439). Recent assessment of abundance in 1988 for the Gironde population is about a few thousand individuals (Ref. 26160). Also Ref. 11941, Ref. 4645, Ref. 30578, Ref. 51346, Ref. 82476. Status of threat: Endangered (Ref. 74334).

Eastern Atlantic: the only remaining spawning population occurs in the Garonne drainage in France (Ref. 59043, 89072). Used to range from Norway to the Bay of Biscay, including the North Sea, European coasts of Atlantic, northern Mediterranean eastward to Rhodos, western and southern Black Sea; occasionally recorded from the White Sea, Iceland, Morocco and Algeria. Anadromous, in most large rivers, but not recorded from Danube upriver of delta. Recent DNA studies using museum specimens revealed that this species co-exists with A. naccarii from the Adriatic Sea to the Iberian Peninsula (Ref. 52173). Several DNA sequence differences were found between individuals of the species from the Gironde River population and from the North and Baltic Seas showing that different populations of A. sturio are genetically divergent (Ref. 82476).

ຊີວະສາດ     ຄຳແປສັບ (ຕ.ຢ. epibenthic)

Amphihaline and anadromous fish (Ref. 51346, 51439), frequenting littoral zones (Ref. 2163, 51439, 51442). A long-lived and slow-growing species (Ref. 9988). It lives the major part of his life in sea but enters rivers for reproduction (Ref. 30578, 51442). Found on various substrates, from sand to rocks (Ref. 51346). At the sea, it occurs in coastal and estuarine zones. In freshwaters, it inhabits estuaries and large rivers (Ref. 59043). Juveniles found both in estuaries and in the sea (Ref. 2163), they slowly adapt to saltwater (Ref. 89103) and usually spend around 2-3 years in river estuaries before moving to the sea (Ref. 40152), some may migrate to the sea during their first summer (Ref. 59043). Usually solitary. Feeds on crustaceans, mollusks, polychaete worms and small fish. Today most males only reach 100-150 cm length, females 130-215 cm (Ref. 59043, 89104). Utilized fresh and frozen, and also for caviar; eaten steamed, pan-fried, broiled, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). A threatened species, mainly due to bycatch, poaching, habitat degradation (spawning grounds, nursery areas) and physical obstacles to migration (Ref. 26160).

Anadromous species, with adults migrating to the middle reaches of large rivers mainly in spring and early summer. Spawning occurs between March and August, when water temperature rises above 20 °C at depths of 2-10 m over stony bottoms in areas with strong current (1.5-2.0 m/s) (Ref. 51442, 59043, 89103). Mature individuals do not feed during spawning migration (Ref. 3193). Number of spawned eggs increases with age. After spawning adults return to the sea (Ref. 51442). The development of the sticky dark grey eggs (2.6-3.0 mm diameter) takes about one week at 17°C (Ref. 26160, 35388). It is suggested that males spawn every 2 years, females every 3-4 years (Ref. 89072). Upstream spawning migrations appear to be positively correlated with water levels in rivers and distances of 1,000 kilometres or more may be covered when water levels are high (Ref. 89104). Sturgeons in general have a high capacity for hybridization and most species are able to cross-breed (Ref. 89103, 89117). This species has been reported to cross-breed (albeit rarely) with the Danube sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedti) (Ref. 89105).
