Acipenser spp. White (Acipenser transmontanus) and Green (Acipenser medirostris) Sturgeon are native to California and are often observed together in the same habitat. They are anadromous, meaning they move from the salt and brackish water to freshwater to spawn. Sturgeon reach sexual maturity at around 15 years old, and can live to be 100 years or older.
