> The small size for the sturgeon is about right. 7-8 year class for
atlantic sturgeon are only about 12-18 inches according to a guide I read.
That growth can be stunted by protien poor diets or crowding more than 1
specimen per square foot.

years. On the up side they live to be about 70 maybe even 100 so that comes
out to about a dime a year for each one.
