The sturgeon has a large body, over two meters long, and has been captured several times by researchers in Wisconsin.
Jon Eiden hit a special sturgeon at Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin, United States on February 11, the third day of this year’s sturgeon skewer season, according to UPI. During that day, fishermen caught a total of 23 fish at Lake Winnebago, including 12 males and 11 females.
Eiden and his father sat in a tent on a frozen lake to catch fish. He discovered that the sturgeon emerged near the surface of the lake and scurried away while swimming through the ice hole. The fish is 2.17 m long and weighs 77.56 kg, estimated to be around 130 years old.
It’s not an alien fish, according to Ryan Koenigs, a sturgeon biologist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR). MNR captured it in the Shawano Dam during a reproduction study in 2004. In 2012, when it was captured for the second time, the fish were approximately 2.22 m long and weighed 108.86 kg.
The sturgeon family consists of 27 species and generally has a long lifespan. They have a number of characteristics such as two asymmetrical shark-shaped halves of their tail, they are elongated and slippery. Sturgeon feed primarily on organisms that live on the bottom of rivers and lakes, including mollusks, crustaceans and fish.
