Officially Listed as Endangered, Sturgeon Are on the Slow Way Back. January 31, 2012 Brad Sewell. Our oceans are home to any number of remarkable, even bizarre, creatures. Today, one of the countryâs largestâthe Atlantic sturgeonâhas officially been protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Some sturgeon, like the beluga, live a century or more and continue to grow -- in fact, one beluga reached a record 4,500 pounds and 28 feet long, which is about the size of a motorhome. The eggs of each species of sturgeon, except the largely poisonous green sturgeon, can be used for caviar.
