A genus of large fish known as sturgeons, which are prized for their roe (caviar) and meat.
Latin term, possibly from acus (needle) and pensare (to weigh), referring to the sturgeon's needle-like snout and the premium placed on weighing its valuable roe.
The sturgeon is one of the oldest fish species still swimming in modern oceans—some individuals live over 100 years and survive from the dinosaur era, making them living fossils we can actually eat.
