An extinct fish is being reintroduced into Lake Erie

Those sturgeon fingerlings are pretty cute!

Oh, cool!

I didn’t know until I read the article they can live to 100 years. Wow.

Locally extinct, although overall endangered. This isn’t some sort of species-necromancy process.

The babies are sort of cute!

that is a nifty looking fish. i hope they do well.

Yeah, the more correct (but much less common) word is “extripated”

Are sturgeon good to eat? Did they get extirpated from overfishing, or from pollution, or something else?
