Sturgeon Surgery

[abcdjsux]

did i just saw 4 EYES?

[debrolex]

Hopefully this research will result in a solution to the problem and bring the wild sturgeon population back up. Looks promising. Thank you!

[spump303]

I don't believe that the tracker will affect of her giving birth to the eggs.

[ghostynoises]

God, those things are soooo fugly. *shiver* I would only fish them so I could pull them to the surface then shoot them in the face with a shotgun so they go extinct on purpose. What do I care? Though that was all said tongue in cheek, seriously, i would shoot them I hate them.

[rtballin]

why do we continually fuck with nature? it's bad enough our dams are causing problems for these creatures. Now we have slice them open, so that we can eventually have test tube sturgeons wtf.

[MidNightT0k3r]

well, who is doing that too us humans.......Crab people.....

[Raigeki190]

if we have no dam, WE WILL ALL DIE FROM DEHYDRATION, dam provides us with fresh drinking water

[mylargehead]

I didnt know Gay people Fish

[yazuak]

Poor fish... I'd imagine this is what an alien abduction would be like for a human.

[Raigeki190]

except less struggling and no anal probing lol

[caladbolg00]

i love ur comment cantutong. . .^^,

[chardoc89]

more dams for everyone!

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The best is getting surgery performed on you by a sturgeon surgeon. While you will most likely die due to malpractice, at least you can say it was absurd.

[photoretoucher1]

wow!!!!

[patroohhk]

fuck

[glenn6010]

than what happen to the eggs they took out???

[iseaall1205]

Caviar

[goodyfun]

Poor endangered white sturgeon. They're such pretty fishes. :(

[mylargehead]

I just farted and a little peice of poop slipped out and I ate it

[canututong]

salahula kang putang ina ka

[Cannovich]

ok...

[arrechavengo]

Hopefully they made sure it was a female before extracting "the eggs"!

rofl

[MychalMonstrousity]

lmfao caviar o-o

[jizzznizzle]

people are whack

[carcharodonoodle]

so that guy's a ...sturgeon surgeon? performing....sturgery?

[panterafist]

lol. that was a good one

[zhartfisch]

listen to the guy at 1:13 the guy says.."i got poopoo in me cornhole."

[youcryilaugh]

Why didnt they put like a tracking device in here if they want to know where she spawns her eggs? And is she a rare fish?

[angelo212]

Dude, what video were you watching? They did put a device in the fish to show where it will spawn its eggs. They even said it.

[lacqueredhearts]

Its kind of cute

[ytenegue]

That sturgeon looked just about fine and ready to spawn in the near future, until these guys decided to come by, cut her to take out a few eggs, then put something like a mag-lite into her. I really want to question the usefulness of such studies...

[Jedistarship]

Damn couldn't they have put something smaller in her. Yeah I'd like to have something the size of dynamite stick place in me to keep track of my wearabouts. Jeez I thought we lived in the age of technology where they made things small. Guess I was wrong!

[Almostdeadly]

Looks like a seal face...

[walmirval]

I think after such surgery, the blood will attract a lot of piranhas that should devour it in 5 minutes

[tubehoundd]

theres no pirnahas in that river jackass!

[Sephir9x]

omg Nigahiga left a cum stain on my channel

[BloodzIchixao]

Fucking asshole, Yeah they can go "extinct" Then he is going to pull some eggs out. Fucking dumbass

[pursuitofsmile]

yeah i found that quite ironic too.

[TunesNorth]

Great video, very interesting.

Thanks for posting.

*****

[teflon442200]

God why didnt they call the vid "Sturgeon Surgeon"

[verbalexost]

Because that would imply that the video is about a surgeon, when in fact the video is about a sturgeon having surgery. It changes the implied subject.

[teflon442200]

wow I am glad you cleared that up......Was a joke but thank you for not having a sense of humor and giving me an english lesson. Idiot.

[verbalexost]

I'm an idiot because I correctly answered a question that you posted on a website viewed by millions each day? Hrm.....I think it's the other way around. If you didn't want an answer you should have stated an opinion instead of a question. No need to get angry, I was just answering your question...

[chuckadave]

Riddle....You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?

....

[THESPOCK]

Pretty corny riddle. What does this have to do with sturgeon?

[2001ALS2008]

@ da end, i think she was sinkin...but da camera man cut dat part off 2 make it momentus...roflz

[RealFruitBeverage2]

ew its bigger than me, im scared.

[321e]

Whats ew about it?

[poiht87hfg]

That's exactly what space aliens do when they come to our habitat. Examine, tag, and release.

[vizuhbuh]

gay fish

[deepbreakfast1960]

It's sad it will soon be extinc, we have to do something before all wildlife is gone!

[amberTrichome]

lol too bad it probably just means we're next... but yea nature rocks.

[inkster]

lol. i feel like that fish just sunk to the bottom afterward

[elizaabenoja]

whew! will the fish be alive after opening it's belly? do they really have 2 do that? and they said it's endangered...talk about endangered animals...

[lovinnia]

horrible video :S

poor fish

[ganuenen]

cruel

[narezul]

sturgery?

[brian56t]

lol :P

[welcomegohome]

sturgeon surgery... say that ten times fast.

[devDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD]

I wish ur ugly specie goes extinct u primate son of a monkey

[farvision]

The problem is that we are causing a great extinction now. So the question is whether we can stop it. Suppose that the loss of some species would trigger events so that we also go extinct. Actually the problem with bees could do that ...

[GladiatorShield]

Assholes that beautiful fish will go on its back and die in 30mins.

[HarveyMissieKiera]

Oh, and another thing, maybe they are dying because you are cutting them open and sticking shit in them. I'd be pissed off to if someone cut my side open, took out my eggs, and then shoved a black trasker in me!

[HarveyMissieKiera]

Steve Irwin could have done a nonsurgical procedure that included him sticking his finger up the fishes ass!

[MartinHagenDJ]

Ahaha

[ProfessaBojangles1]

They should have titled this video "Sturgeon Surgeon"

[inkster]

hahaha. the people at "natgeo" aren't too clever.

[ho2cultcha]

if she can't find the right place to deposit her eggs, will she reabsorb them somehow?

[bananasyoubet]

uh... no.

[dunndudebemelol]

thats almost 6 ft and 5'4...

[geraldfoushee]

why is it always americans who have to MESS with shit 24/7...can't never leave shit alone...just gotta be checking something..."we have to see if it's male or female"

i hate americans at times and i am from America....the whole world hates us

[spudakus]

its not just america it is human nature we are born to wonder what is around us

[DelightfulDragon]

oh... i dont hate... i celebrate :)

don't make it an issue ... Everyone is different... Some american's are always checking on these kinds of shows but i've watched australian shows that do the same... :D it's just for scientific effect i guess... but you made me laugh so thanks for that.

[DelightfulDragon]

*kinds of things on shows

[farvision]

geraldfoushee, watch again. They are trying to figure out why the fish are not reproducing. They discovered that one is female and so tagged her. That will let them find the eggs and figure out what the problem is. If they do this in time they will save the species.

[651Bo1]

lol there so precise when it comes to stitching

[GeminiAzules]

the fish will miscarry now because of the stress of being caught and having the surgery.

[carmie1818]

What the fuck are you talking about?

Fish can't "miscarry", they lay eggs which are then fertilized by male fish.

These guy's know what they are doing.

[GeminiAzules]

Oh hey! its the fish egg expert whos clearly in the field of fish egg miscarrying. Thanks for clearing that up for us all.

[carmie1818]

"Fish egg expert"...hardly, just common sense.

Now please, fuck off.

[GeminiAzules]

I am very much aware that there are fish that do give live birth and can miscarry due to stress. I am not an expert on fish, but I can only assume that under the same conditions, fish can drop their eggs prematurely.

[carmie1818]

Over 97% of all known fishes are oviparous...I'm not sure about the "premature egg-dropping".

[Braydawg69]

@carmie1818 How long have you been working with white sturgeon?

[carmie1818]

@Braydawg69 I have never in my entire life "worked w/ white sturgeon"....I have however taken a biology course, or 2, and I have watched the discovery channel w/ rabid enthusiasm.

[Braydawg69]

@carmie1818 Oh so than what makes you think you know more about white sturgeons than these people do? You think that you take two biology courses around the general biology of all life on this planet, watch the discovery channel and you think you know more about white sturgeons than these people do? How many classes in those entire two courses did you learn about white sturgeons?

[carmie1818]

@Braydawg69 What people are you talking about? Are you talking about the asshole who thought fish can "miscarry"? If you agree w/ him, than you are as stupid as he is and you should quit wasting our time, and fuck off.

[eurasianchica]

@carmie1818 it is possible, smartass. they're called livebearer fish.

[carmie1818]

@eurasianchica question: are Sturgeon, "livebearer" fish?

No...they aren't....so fuck off, dumbass.

[quinnweller]

@eurasianchica i can tell by 'chica' that you're a woman and probably retarded.

[eurasianchica]

@quinnweller That must have took a lot of brains!

[CashelConfalone]

@carmie1818 It wasn't a miscarriage, it was the eggs weren't far along enough, so they stitched the sturgeon back up and placed it back into the water till the eggs are ready to hatch. Obviously you don't know what a miscarriage is.

[carmie1818]

@CashelConfalone actually, I do have first-hand knowledge of what a "miscarriage" is.....and where the fuck do I state that this is a miscarriage? I think you're replying to the wrong person.

[Mangobrain82]

that sucks

[nightwind1989]

mmm caviar

kidding

[krystian1333]

nasty

[JORDAN1840]

wtf u took half the eggs out

[ed3396296]

and I bet that was the only fish with eggs

[PierreZeFrenchButler]

Sturgeon have several million eggs dumb shit =/

[6383830]

they reproduce so many eggs !

[nezj89]

to make some cavyar hello!

[discodarth]

I hope the tag doesn't disrupt the egg laying process.. sturgeon are majestic fish.

[ed3396296]

that fish weighs as much as me

[discodarth]

same here.

its massive!

[brutallyunbiased]

They can get a fuck of a lot bigger then that...a buddy of mine caught one in BC that was 10 feet long...looked like a fucking shark.

[DumbDuck44]

Yeah, whatever, guys always exaggerate about the size of their fish. *wiggles pinky*

[brutallyunbiased]

and how long they can fight for....

[jestermoua]

there was a story in Sacarmento River California, a 200lbs was caught and it took over 9hr to bring it in...

like they said in the video, they use their pectoral fins to cut the current and hug the river bottom...like your hand outside the car window while driving, angled down...same thing

[yesenia1070]

haha i agree..
