the sturgeon by marcus
TRANSCRIPT
Sturgeons have lots of rows of bony plates. The sturgeons are toothless. The MOUTH has strong thick sucking lips. Sturgeons have only have one dorsal fin.
They eat shellfish, worms, crab, snails and small bony fish. The sturgeon will suck up anything on the river floor. STURGEONS also eat small insects that fall in the water.
Sturgeons live in the Fraser river they also live near new York. They live in salt water rivers. They also live in Alaska bay and coastal waters and northern Baja. They also live in the Russian waters. THEY ALSO LIVE IN CHINESE waters and are rare to find because of overfishing there.
The sturgeons lay eggs somewhere in the water. Young sturgeons start eating with eating small MARINE LIFE . But when they get older they eat larger stuff. Baby sturgeon are smaller than ten inches long.
They dive deep under water to hide and it is really rare to find one because they are endangered and there are few sturgeons left.That is why it is really rare to find them. Sturgeons make their skin really hard to hold because they make a type of slime so they can slip away from being caught and killed.
People fish the sturgeon and sell them on the black market and people are overfishing them. Larger fish eat baby sturgeons and we are poaching them too much and they get killed BY FISH that get in a gang and kill them.
Stop hunting sturgeons and don’t pollute the water and stop OVER FISHING THEM and feeding them bad stuff to eat. People need to stop eating the fins of the sturgeons or there will be no more sturgeons.
Most of the sturgeons live in salt water. SOME STURGEONS weigh 1000 pounds. The largest sturgeon was10ft long. Sturgeons have lived on earth for 208 million years . They have lived on earth even before the dinosaurs walked on the earth.
I am 8 years old and I like animals that live under water. I like to dive under water to see under water animals. I can swim with fish and turtles and see a lot of coral also called little coral reefs. The last thing I will say is that I don’t want to be stung by a jelly fish under water.
