Sturgeon
Sturgeon is the common name for the 27 species of fish in one family. They earliest sturgeon fossils date to the late Cretaceous, and are descended from other fish, dating back to the early Jurassic period, some 174 to 201 million years ago. Sturgeons are native to subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America.
Sturgeons are long-lived, late-maturing fishes with distinctive characteristics, such as a heterocercal caudal fin similar to those of sharks, and an elongated, spindle-like body that is smooth-skinned, scaleless, and armored with five lateral rows of bony plates called scutes. Most sturgeons are bottom-feeders, which migrate upstream to spawn, but spend most of their lives feeding in river deltas and estuaries. Some species inhabit freshwater environments exclusively, while others primarily inhabit marine environments near coastal areas, and are known to venture into open ocean.

Welcome to the Fishy series! A series of caches made as a geoart for HAG XIX. Since this years theme is water, the series has been placed along a water related trail. Some spots along the trail have significant erosin and cliffs. Please use caution. The trail does get quite wet (and floods,) but has some great views and provides a great walk or hike. If you have solved Fishy #1, you will know where abouts to park for the rest of the series. Please close all containers properly and hide back as found. Hope everybody enjoys the series and the trail as much as I did!
