Sturgeon Moon Name Origin. What is a Sturgeon Moon? The full moon that appears in August is called the Sturgeon Moon. North American fishing tribes called Augustâs full moon the sturgeon moon since the species was abundant during this month, especially in the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water.
Sturgeons co-existed with the dinosaurs, as befits their size and armor (the sides of sturgeons are lined with hard protruding plates called scutes). Atlantic sturgeon as a specific species hail from the Pleistocene epoch, from last ice age, 13,000 years ago.
