The Russian Sturgeon is a large, primarily anadromous species, spending the majority of its life in marine environments but migrating to freshwater rivers for spawning. In aquarium settings, these large fish require significant space, highly efficient filtration, and stable water conditions. They are known for their economic importance, particularly for their roe, which is processed into caviar.
