Information about the Lake Sturgeon:
The Lake Sturgeon is a member of the family Acipenseridae and one of 25 species of sturgeon. The Lake Sturgeon can be found in the Mississippi River drainage basin, south to Alabama and Mississippi. It’s range beings in the Great Lakes and follows east down the St. Lawrence River, up until the fresh water runs into the sea. In the west it reaches Lake Winnipeg and the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers. In the north it is found in the Hudson Bay Lowland. They are very long lived fish and individuals can reach ages of over 100 years. They are also very large fish, with the average size of an adult reaching some 9 feet long (3 meters) and weighing up to 400 pounds (190 kilograms.) The sturgeon is well known as valuable gourmet fish, specifically for it’s caviar. Due to extreme exploitation over the years the species is now fairly rare and fishing for it is strictly regulated.

Artist’s notes:
The Lake Sturgeon was completed on 3.2.2013. A friend of mine recently mentioned her son had done a report on these amazing fish, and asked if I had drawn one. I hadn’t, but I had been meaning to for some years and that gave me – along with the fact I just completed a massive project – a good excuse to finally create a drawing of a Lake Sturgeon. It’s always tricky making a drawing of a very long, thin fish fit into the general format of the image library. I decided with a post that had the back quarters of the fish turning away from the front. I also considered adding some background, but nothing in the layout seemed to really work so I left it as is with just the fish.
