Chinese Sturgeon
Sinosturio sinensis
The Chinese sturgeon (Sinosturio sinensis; Chinese: 中華鱘; pinyin: zhōnghuá xún) is a critically endangered member of the family Acipenseridae in the order Acipenseriformes. Historically, this anadromous fish was found in China, Japan, and the Korean Peninsula, but it has been extirpated from Korea, Japan, and most regions in China due to habitat loss and overfishing.
