We know by now that the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has been disastrous for the entire Gulf ecosystem, and that at least 600 Gulf species are likely to experience reduced numbers and harmful effects for generations to come. For a handful of species, however, the spill may be the final nail in the coffin. The situation is so dire that one major online gambling site has begun allowing bets on which Gulf animals are most likely to be declared extinct first and the Gulf Sturgeon are among top 10 an
The Atlantic sturgeon's range extends from the Hamilton River in Labrador to southeastern Florida. Therefore, it is just one of hundreds of fish species threatened by the oil spill. Already considered a species at risk, the oil slick could potentially cover what remains of this animal's remaining habitat. Even worse, sturgeons were preparing for their seasonal migration upstream to spawn. As oil reaches their congregation areas, the population could crash en masse.
This ancient-looking fish with a golden, tan body and a grayish-white belly is Atlantic Sturgeon, a prehistoric fish that has been around since the Cretaceous period, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. They are endangered and it is illegal to catch or keep them in most states. They are good to eat and produce fair caviar where it is legal to catch them.
