Species Overview
European Sturgeon
The European sturgeon is a critically endangered anadromous fish that can live over 100 years. Once abundant in European rivers, it is now restricted to a small population in the Gironde estuary. Its eggs are harvested as beluga-grade caviar.
Greater Amberjack
The greater amberjack is the largest of the jacks, known for brutal head-shaking fights and powerful dives toward structure. Found near reefs, wrecks, and offshore platforms in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide.
