Officially Listed as Endangered, Sturgeon Are on the Slow Way Back. January 31, 2012 Brad Sewell. Our oceans are home to any number of remarkable, even bizarre, creatures. Today, one of the countryâs largestâthe Atlantic sturgeonâhas officially been protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Gulf sturgeon may reach a maximum size of about eight feet and weigh approximately 150-220 pounds. Most males stop growing at about five feet. Most Gulf sturgeon exceeding this length are females. Females grow large and develop a great number of large eggs. A 503-pound sturgeon (possibly a Gulf sturgeon) was captured at the mouth of the Mississippi River in 1936. In recent decades, the largest reported Gulf sturgeon was a 300-pound fish from the Pearl River, Louisiana.
