White Sturgeon
(Acipenser Transmontanus)

Spawning female white sturgeon can produce from 700,000 to four million eggs each. Being broadcast spawners, their egg deposition occurs on a wide variety of substrates, ranging from fine and medium-sized gravel to boulders.

There are three strains of white sturgeon stocks:

1) Resident fish that are either landlocked or "do not migrate" to the Pacific Ocean.
2) Anadromous stocks that occasionally travel between fresh and saltwater in search of food.
3) Ocean-going sturgeon that make their way into river systems to feast on other fish.
