Today's #WildernessWednesday features the largest and longest-living species of freshwater fish in North America: The White Sturgeon.Adult White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) can commonly reach lengths of 2.1 metres (6.9 ft.) and can weigh up to and beyond 450 Kg (992 lbs.). This is in part because of their very long life span. While average life expectancy is much lower and they typically reach full maturity at 11-34 years old, some specimens have been found to be over 100 years old.Sturgeon are an ancient family of fish with early fossils dating back to the early Jurassic period, around 200 million years ago. Unlike most modern fish, they do not have scales, instead having five lateral rows of bony armour plates called scutes, and display other unique features such as barbels, which are whisker-like sensory organs between the mouth and the snout of the fish, and being anadromous, meaning they can thrive in freshwater and saltwater conditions.White Sturgeon can be found within Gold Country as one of the few year-round resident species of the Fraser River, however, Fraser White Sturgeon populations are at a fraction of their historic levels, making them vulnerable to extinction.This is the driving force behind the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society.White Sturgeon were historically an important and reliable year-round food source for various indigenous peoples of the Fraser River and its tributaries.
