The Beluga Sturgeon (H. huso) is the largest freshwater fish. The record length and weight for beluga was 23 ft long and weighed 3,463 lbs, caught in 1827.

Heey, so I had to make a presentation about an animal for Science two days ago and I chose the sturgeon Huso huso, to then come across your blog only two minutes ago.

I'll take it as a sign to start loving sturgeons too, thank you for appearing on my dash.

By the way, do you like the Huso huso? In Italian it's called storione ladano, storione beluga or storione attilo! (I'm Italian and have no idea if I'm saying the English name right, so I'll just say the Italian one :))

Looks like you and sturgeon are destino.

I love Huso huso! I wrote a sturgeon fact about her last year.

Huso huso is actually the scientific name for this fish — that means it can be used in every language. In English we call her either the beluga sturgeon or the great sturgeon.

Beluga Sturgeon

Big mama is here! Huso huso, known colloquially as the beluga sturgeon or great sturgeon, is the largest living member of the Acipenser family. In fact, this fish is the second largest bony fish in the world, outclassed only by the giant oarfish. These days, due to overfishing and strain on their habitat, typical beluga length is around 4-10 feet long, but the largest beluga ever caught and officially recorded was 23.7 feet long! This was in 1827, in the Volga estuary in Russia. How do these sturgeon get so big? They never stop growing! While humans like you and me will only grow until we reach our early 20s, this lady will continue to grow for the duration of her entire lifespan. Beluga have an interesting adaptation that allow them to sustain this growth: juveniles look very similar to their cousins in other genera of sturgeon, but as they mature the ventral mouth begins to shift upwards. By the time they are mature, the mouth is almost fully front-facing. This means that the beluga is not limited to bottom-feeding but can instead take on a more active hunting role and eat enough food to grow to gigantic sizes -- what a smart lady!
