Distribution and Value of Sturgeons
STURGEONS — Sturgeons are found on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and in many inland waters. The Atlantic sturgeon attains a length of from 5 to 12 feet and a weight of from 400 to 500 pounds. They are sold fresh, pickled and smoked, for food; caviar is manufactured from their eggs; the skin is made into leather; and the sounds are used in the manufacture of glue and isinglass. A valuable oil is sometimes obtained from the parts not used for food, and the refuse is used for fertilizing purposes.
