References (not structured): Rochard E, Castelnaud G, Lepage M (1990) Sturgeons (Pisces:Acipenseridae); threats and prospects. J. Fish Biol. 37 (A): 123-132 Comments: Feeds mostly on sea fishes (Black Sea whiting, anchovies, flatfishes, gobies, fry of bottom-living fishes), also crustaceans, mollusks, mysids and amphipods. The main food of juveniles appears to be insect larvae, especially of Ephemeroptera, crustaceans. |
