Even if you don't live in the you may have a sturgeon in your backyard! (figuratively speaking unless your backyard is underwater) - many other species of sturgeon found in the US are anadromous, meaning they spend time in both fresh + saltwater

The redhorses are often studied as a group because the different species are *really* tough to tell apart, even for biologists. ID usually involves *lots* of counting of lateral scales + fin rays. Fisheries science is exciting!! (📷: https://t.co/tfBD9O4EWJ)

🎶Everybody's gone sturgeon, Sturgeon USA🎶

While you might not be able to have a white sturgeon chances are likely you're not too far from a species of sturgeon- there are 9 species/subspecies in N. America, all of which are found in the US

There are 3 big catfish species in North America (big in body size AND popularity): the channel, flathead, and blue catfish. Blue catfish are most often confused with channel catfish, but have a straight anal fin (the channel has a curved one)
