Lake sturgeon date back 150 million years to the dinosaur days and can reach eight feet and 300 pounds.
Warsaw, Mo. -- Travis Moore reached into a fish hatchery tank and with one hand picked up a young fish, one that in the next century might require three people to lift. The squirming, six-inch lake sturgeon he held is capable of growing into a giant that long outlives biologists trying to save the species’ future.
The biggest lake sturgeon can reach eight feet and 300 pounds. This year, biologists in a northern state measured an egg-producing female lake sturgeon that weighed 240 pounds and was more than seven feet long.
