How do sturgeon's need to survive?

Sturgeons require clean, well-oxygenated water and access to both freshwater and saltwater environments for spawning and feeding, often migrating between rivers and oceans. They have a diet primarily consisting of benthic invertebrates, which they locate using their sensitive barbels. Healthy habitats with ample food sources and minimal pollution are essential for their survival, as many species are threatened due to overfishing, habitat destruction, and water quality degradation. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect their populations and habitats.
