Atlantic Sturgeon Larva
Acipenser oxyrhynchus (larva)
Atlantic sturgeon larvae hatch in freshwater rivers and initially remain close to the bottom or drift with the current. As their yolk reserves diminish, they begin feeding on tiny aquatic invertebrates. Their elongated bodies and strong tail beats help them avoid danger in flowing water.
