They're North America's largest freshwater fish, capable of growing to enormous sizes with documented specimens over 1,500 pounds. - White Sturgeon use sensitive barbels around their mouth to detect prey on lake and river bottoms. - These prehistoric fish don't have scales but rather rows of bony plates called scutes that protect them. - They can live for over 100 years in ideal conditions.
