The sturgeon fish expert, Yves, claims that the creature lives in Canada’s Fraser River and this beast has probably been around for longer than a century.
After the fish was captured and measured, the fishing guides set the sturgeon free after tagging it with an RFID chip.
Sturgeon is a common name for the 29 species of these primitive fish that appeared for the first time in the fossil record during the Triassic period (245-208 million years ago). Reportedly, ever since then, the fish hasn’t undergone much significant changes in evolution.
