Gulf Sturgeon
Acipenser desotoi
The Gulf sturgeon (Acipenser desotoi) is a species of sturgeon endemic to the southeastern United States. An anadromous fish, it inhabits the Gulf of Mexico and spawns in a number of rivers that drain into it, from southern Florida west to eastern Louisiana. It has one of the southernmost distributions of all sturgeon, which otherwise tend to inhabit cooler habitats in more northern latitudes.
