• The Beluga Sturgeon is the largest freshwater fish in the world.<\/li>\n
• The population of the Beluga Sturgeon has decreased by as much s 90% over the last 60 years.<\/li>\n
• The eggs of a female Beluga Sturgeon (also known as roe or caviar) sells for an average of $7,000 per kilogram<\/li>\n
• One specimen recorded had an age of 118 years old, however, it is possible that they lived twice that age prior to industrialism<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

  Freshwater Fish Living in the Sea<\/h2>\n

  If you would like to catch a glimpse of the Beluga Sturgeon, I suggest checking out the Northern Mediterranean, the Black Sea or the Caspian Sea. Now you might be wondering how these fish are considered to be the largest FRESHWATER fish when they are found in the sea. Well, I failed to mentioned that these fish will also inhabit the river systems of each of the above mentioned seas. In fact, they go up the rivers to spawn and the majority of biologist believe them to be river fish as opposed to sea fish.<\/p>\n

  Anti-Aging Properties<\/h2>\n

  In my opinion, one of the most fascinating attributes of the Beluga Sturgeon is the fact that they are functionally immortal. This means if you took out all of the external factors, this fish would continue to live without any signs of aging. Sure they would get much larger and I bet they would be pretty wise but the organs of a 118 year old Sturgeon would essentially function just as well as they did when they were 5 years old. Just imagine how incredible it would be if we could figure a way to mimic that behaviour?<\/p>\n
