0 a type of fish that lives in northern parts of the world and is usually caught for its eggs, which are eaten as caviar --
The main production was caviar, taken from the eggs of lake sturgeon.
Fish species found within these waters are walleye, pike, bass, trout, carp, catfish, and fresh water sturgeon.
Sport fishermen divide the sturgeon into three classes: shakers, keepers, and oversize.

Pallid sturgeon prefer swift river currents more often than do shovelnose sturgeon.
Fish is a more important dietary staple for pallid sturgeon than it is for shovelnose sturgeon.
