Biology

Reproduction

Like other sturgeons , it aggregates in bottom holes in winter and exhibits little activity. In spring , when ice breaks , it rises from the bottom holes and moves upstream for spawning. For spawning, the fish choose the main channel of the river , where the current is fast and the bottom is covered with gravel [2].

Migration

Potamodromous .
