Beluga fishermen deservedly refer to the king - fish for her giant sizes.
Black I. Caspian Sea - permanent place The habitat of Beluga, meet it in the Adriatic and Mediterranean. This fish is a long-lived, able to live for 100 years and several times for life to postpone the caviar. Food is powered by molluscs, races, fish.
This is a predator. Found in the stomachs of fish ducklings, young seals.
Having reached puberty, Beluga is sent to spawning into freshwater rivers. It is believed that the spawning time of Beluga falls on May - June and lasts for a month. Caviar is postponed in deep-sea rivers with a rapid flow and stony bottom.
Without finding a suitable place, Beluga will not step by caviar, which over time will resolve inside the fish. To take a place for the spring orcase, the Beluga female remains wintering in the rivers, flowing into the hibernation and finishing mucus.
One female can wear up to 320 kg of caviar. Ikrinka with the size of the pea dark gray. Beluga caviar is eaten by other fish, worn through. Of 100,000 Iikrian survives 1.
Young, visited the month of spawning, rolls at sea. Beluga caviar has a big food value. This was the reason that the fish was caught in huge quantities, which led to a decrease in its number.
Now the sale of the foom caviar is prohibited by law.
After spawning, barking Beluga are engaged in search of food. Old females even inedible items: squigs, stones. They differ from young individuals big head and exhausted body. In food, our ancestors did not use our ancestors.
To catch Belugu, fishermen overlook the sea, sailing for 3 km from the coast. With the help of the pole, you need to find a place where there is a lot of seven on the bottom, which speaks about the place of feeding Beluga. The nozzle serves Vobla, Herring, herring.
By catching caught fish into the boat, it is necessary to be careful, because there have been cases when a huge fish turned the boat and the fisherman turned out to be in the water.
Beluga is listed in the Red Book and is an object of sports fishing. Caught trophy should be released.
In the early 20th century Beluga was the usual fishing fish. Tons of this fish were mined in Danube and Dnieper, Volga. After the loss of natural spawning, the number of Beluga has decreased significantly. There are no adult individuals, 98% is young.
The hybrid of Beluga and Sterdi is artificially grown.
The stories are known that Beluga was caught by weight of 1.5 tons, 2 tons, but these facts are not confirmed. In 1922, in the Caspian Sea was the greatest Beluga in the world, weighing 1224 kg.
The Museum of Kazan is exposed to the scarecrow Beluga with a length of 4.17 m, caught at the beginning of the 20th century. In the lower times of the Volga. When catching fish weighed 1000 kg. In the Astrakhan Museum stored the scarecrow Beluga, caught in the Volga Delta and weighing 966 kg.
All this allows you to call Belugu largest freshwater fish. There are many facts about catching white weighing 500, 800 kg. All of them come to the end of 19 - the beginning of the 20th century.
Nowadays medium weight This fish is from 60 to 250 kg. Hydroelectric power plants, sewage facilities, dams - all this interferes with reproduction, growth and survival of fish.
Here additional Information About Fish Beluga from Wikipedia:
Maturation and reproduction
Beluga - long-lived fishachieving age in 100 years. Unlike the Pacific salmon, dying after spawning, Beluga, like other sturgeon, can spawn many times in life. After spawning, rolled back to the sea.
Sexual maturity of the Caspian males Beluga reaches at 13-18 years, and females - in 16-27 (mostly in 22-27) years.
The fertility of the Beluga, depending on the size of the females, ranges from 500 thousand to a million (in exceptional cases - up to 5 million) Iikrin.
There is evidence that large (2.5-2.59 m long) Volga females are at an average of 937 thousand icons, and the Kurinsky of the same size - an average of 686 thousand eggs.
In the past (according to 1952), the average fecundity of the Chassis Volga Beluga was 715 thousand eggs.
Food
By the method of food, Beluga is a predator eating predominantly fish. It begins to predate another fool in the river. The sea eats mainly fish (herring, tullee, bulls, etc.), but does not neglect the mollusks. In the stomachs of Caspian Beluga, even Belkov (cubs) seal were found.
Artificial breeding and hybridization of Beluga
In the nature of Beluga hybridizes with sterling, seven, spike and sturgeon.
On the Volga and on the Don with the help of artificial fertilization, life-toned hybrids were obtained - Beluga X Sterlet (Bester).
These hybrids are universe in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov and some reservoirs. Sturgeon hybrids are successfully grown in pond (aquacultural) farms.
Caviar Beluga
Beluga female swords black caviar. Biruga icers are large, in diameter they reach 2.5 millimeters, caviar weight is 1/5-1 / 4 part of the body weight.
Beluga caviar is considered the most valuable among the rest of the caviar of sturgeon fish. It has a dark gray with a silver tint, a strong smell and a gentle nut flax.
Before the revolution, the best cooked grainy grain grain caviar was called "Warsaw redoned", since most of Supply she went to Russian Empire From Astrakhan to Warsaw, and from there abroad.
By the end of 2005, 1 kg of firing caviar cost about € 620 in the black market in Russia (with the official ban on the sale of this caviar) and up to € 7,000 abroad.
I invite everyone to speak
Sturgeon species of fish live mainly in Solen sea water, and spawning goes into fresh reservoirs. The smallest sizes are representatives of the sterling family, their size is on average range from 35 to 100 cm, and weight from 0.5 to 5 kg. Most. large representative The sturgeon is beluga, it can reach the masses of 3 tons and have a length of up to 10 m. Today, catching sturgeon fish is the largest fishing. In addition to meat, the sturgeon is also valuable caviar.
Building and characteristics
Family sturgeon, it is one of the largest species of fish in aquatic space, sturgeon has an elongated bodycovered with 5 rows of bone spikes: two on the belly, two on the sides and one on the back, between which the bone plates are located.
A sturgeon is a fish with cone-shaped and oblong fish, resembling a shovel. At the bottom of the head there are fleshy mouth of the lips, next to which are four mustache. The jaw has a toothless retractable form.
The chest radiation fin has a big thickening in the shape of the "barbs", the spine fingerly advanced back. The swimming bubble is located at the bottom of the spine, connecting with the esophagus. The bone skeleton has a cartilage and invertebrate structure in the form of chord. The membrane of the four gills is fixed to the zev and are connected on the throat, there are also two apparent gills.
General
As a rule, all the varieties of sturgeon during the throwing of caviar go to shallow water in fresh reservoirs. The population of sturgeon is quite fruitful, so large and adult sturgeon can produce up to 1 million eggs. Most often, spiness passes in spring. It should be noted that some sturgeon, except spawning, are moving into freshwater waters of rivers and for wintering. In most cases, sturgeon dwells on the bottom of the reservoirs, feed on worms, small fish, insects and molluscs.
Paulic ripening
The sturgeon group, the list of which includes approximately 20 species, is usually represented by long-livers. The period of readiness of sturgeon for ikrometania occurs in different ways and depends on the type and place of residence of the fish. Paulic ripening, like the growth of sturgeon fish, passes quite slowly. Some sturgeon can multiply only aged 15 years.
- The females ripening occurs after 10-20 years;
- In males after 7-15 years.
With regard to weight, it can be noted that sturgeon are the fastest growing inhabitants of the rivers. Sexual ripening is faster than achieving sturgeon on the Don and in the Dnieper, much longer than sturgeon living in the Volga.
Throwing caviar
Not all sturgeon females every year rolled the caviar. Every year can multiply only a sterle. Postpone the caviar of sturgeon in spring-summer time In fresh reservoirs with a big flow. Caviar has a sticky shell, so it can be well fixed to pebbles or tiltry.
Fry
Flips that appear from cheeks have a gusty bubble, this is caused by the endogenous period of nutrition. Alone to eat larvae can only by the time the endogenous bag is completely absorbed. At this time, an exogenous nutrition period occurs. After this period larvae can linger in river water bodies, but most often they go to sea.
The first food for the larvae of the sturgeon is zooplankton, most often, is Daphneia. Then fry begin to eat various races:
- misidals;
- chironomides;
- gammarides.
The exception is only the predatory fir years of Beluga, they do not have a yellow bubble and while during fresh reservoir Began to eat alone. The subsequent development of sturgeon, up to half maturity, passes in marine reservoirs.
The passing types of sturgeon fish are divided into winter and spring varieties. The latter, as a rule, are included in freshwater rivers in the spring. Sleeps of these sturgeon runs almost immediately. Winter sturgeon enter the river at the autumn time, we will lose winter, and spawn in the spring.
Classification of sturgeon fish
Initially, 2 types of sturgeon families were classified:
- scaffle;
- sturgeon.
In general, all sorts have approximately 20 species of fish that lived only in moderate areas: America, Europe and Asia. But after a time, the population of many sturgeon extinct.
List and photos of popular sturgeon fish
Sturgeon have the greatest popularity in fisheries. Today it is known about 20 species of representatives of these fish. The most popular are so sturgeon.
Beluga - The most ancient view of freshwater sturgeon. The cycle of life of this fish can reach up to 100 years. Beluga can grow up to 10 meters long and have a weight of 3 tons. The body of Beluga shape resembles a torpedo, and covered in 5 rows with bone protective plates, the bottom is white, and from above - gray. At the bottom of the muzzles are the mouth in the form of a sickle and the mustache, which ensure the smell of fish. Females of the biggest males. Beluga is predatory Fishthat eats, as a rule, by bulls, Anchovs, Hamsa, Vobly and Seld. Females lay the caviar in the spring, once every 3-5 years.
Kaluga. This is a freshwater fish of the Belug family. Kaluga size can reach up to 5.5 m, and the body weight is up to one ton. The mouth is served and big. This fish is distributed in the Amur basin, can also meet in Sungari, chille, Arguni. They are distinguished by fast-growing, liman, passing Kaluga.
Russian sturgeon. It has a belief-shaped body shape with a small stupid muzzle. The mustache are at the end of the mouth. As a rule, the Russian sturgeon has a black and gray color from above, brown-gray sides and white belly. Fish reaches maximum sizes The length is up to 3.5 m and can weigh up to 120 kg. Life cycle reaches up to 60 years. IN natural environment A sturgeon can create a penetration with Blind, sterling, the sorry and spike. This does not happen very often, but these hybrids come across. Habitat: Black, Caspian and Azov Sea.
Lopatoos.. Freshwater fish weighing up to 4.5 kg and up to 140 cm. It is characterized by a flattened and rather long tail stem with bone plates. The tail thread is either completely absent, the eyes are small, a large swimming bubble. Habitat - Amudarya's tributaries.
Ostr Siberian. The body of this type of sturgeon is covered with multiple bone plates and fulcres, the mouth of the retractable, the teeth are absent. Ahead of the mouth is 4 mustache. Residences: Obi, Yenisei pools, Kolyma and Lena. Ostr maximally reaches a length of up to 3.5 m, weighs up to 150 kg, and has life cycle up to 50 years Spawning, as a rule, occurs in July. The nutrient base of the fish is organisms that live at the bottom of the reservoir: amphipods, mollusks, chironomid larvae and multi-art worms.
Spike. It has external general form For sturgeon. Of the 5 rows of bone spine spines have of 12-16 bugs, abdominal 11-18, side 51-71. At the first gill arc, 22-41 gill stitch. Place Accommodation Pools of the Aralsky, Caspian, Azov and Black Seas.
Stellate sturgeon. Lives in the Caspian, Black and Azov seas. This type of sturgeon can be Sneakers and Ozimy. For the elongated body shape of this fish, the presence of a weakly developed bottom lip, convex forehead, long nose, smooth and narrow mustache. From above and on the side of the body of sturgeon is tightly covered with bone shields. Boc and back have a blue-black color, and the belly is white. Severy can reach a length of up to 6 m and have weight up to 60 kg.
Sterlet. The smallest fish among the sturgeon family, the sterlet can reach a length of up to 1.20 m and have weight up to 20 kg. Fish has a long mustache reaching the mouth, a narrow elongated nose, sunbathing low Guba And on the sides in contact with shields. In addition to the usual plates on the body for sturgeon fish, the sterlet has close-contact shields on the back. Taking into account the place of residence, the sterlet may have different colourBut usually its back has a gray-brown shade, and the belly is yellow-white. All fins of gray shade. In this case, the sterlet may be stormy and stupid. Lives fish only in the north of Siberia.
Delicate fish
Sturgeon fish You can see both in the alive and frozen, smoked and chilled. Sturgeon is used for the manufacture of bald and different canned food.
Sale of sturgeon salted species is prohibited. This is due to the probability of presence in meat painful anaeroba - botulinus, which causes severe poisoning.
Once only the one that was sturgeon believed to red fish. These are such varieties like Beluga, Sterlet, Severy and Ostr. However, these species were valued completely not for the pinkish shade of meat, but for their magnificent taste I. food Properties . Now this generalized name has been fixed and for salmon fish. Thus, red is also called salmon, pinkish and ketu.
There is a certain culinary and trading classification of this fish. The first group includes sturgeon, place of residence, which Caspian and Black Sea. These are such varieties like Beluga, sterling and spike, sturgeon and the seven. The second group are salmon, such as salmon and trout, pink salmon and ket, and the last - white types of salmon (Belorybitsa and Kijuch, Nelma and Tymen).
The value of red fish is due to the large content of meat vitamins of the group a, b, e, pp and d, zinc, phosphorus and calcium, fluorine and iodine. But the most important human body is considered fatty polyunsaturated omega acid 3. This acid is needed for normal brain operation, maintaining immunity and memory improvements. Scientists have proven that those people who constantly include red fish in their menu are not faced with depression, and also 3 times reduce the risk of hypertension and oncology.
Street types of fish
Beluga is most large view Among freshwater fish. Even in historical documents, you can meet the mention of it. Before, in times ancient Russia, she could only have a king and his approximate princes. Only for them they were brought specifically from the Caspian Sea. And in those days already talked about its incredibly large sizes. Even there are evidence. But it was a long time ago. There were those times, and at present such a huge fish is no longer found.
Beluga Fish
Beluga is amazing Fish long-lived. Many argue that she can live more than one hundred years. And for such a long time it reaches giant sizes. This species is the most large view on the planet. Oddly enough, but Beluga molds the game only a few times in his entire long life. At the same time, the mass of caviar reaches up to halftone.
In order to postpone the caviar, Beluga floats far away in the rivers, which fall into the sea, and if they do not make sure that this place is safe, they will simply do not spare, but float back. And Ikra over time herself is absorbed. A young fish begins to postpone the caviar from the middle of the spring and to the autumn. Icru she postponed in the deepest places with a stony bottom and strongly. Icra itself is very large as walnut. And the number of such eggs reaches several million.

How she looks like
This species belongs to the family sturgeon. Beluga has five rows of bone shields, which are located along the body, her head is long and elongated. The lower part of the head has four °. The nose pointed and slightly shifted. This is due to the fact that it does not have bone brushes. She has a very wide mouth, and the upper lip thick and hanging over it. The torso is rather thick and looks like a cylinder. She has no spine, but instead there is a cartilage. It grows up to four meters, and the mass can reach tons.
She is rather rigid, but tasty. Many dishes and snacks are prepared from it. And Ikra is the most expensive in the world. This kind of fish is a predator, so feeding on fish, mollusks, races. But there were cases when fishermen at plowing the belly found even the ducks.
In the sea they live by one. Sexual maturity comes, on average, after fifteen years, and fifty already fades.
Symbol in river pits In order to come to the surface with the onset of spring and postpone the caviar. Young fish that is not yet able to postpone caviar, also goes into the river or stays at sea, but not big depth. Adults do not go anywhere and winter in the sea at great depths. When the cold occurs, the body of the Beluga is covered with a large layer of mucus, after that it flows into the hibernation until spring. But before that, it is carefully poling food for the whole winter.
In the nature of Beluga can form hybrids, such as:
- Baster - crossing with sterling;
- With fish spike;
- Sturgeon;
- SERGY.
Where does Beluga live?
This type of fish can be found in the Black, Azov, Caspian, Azov, Mediterranean and Adriatic seas.
When spawning time comes, it is likely to meet it in rivers such as Terek, Don, Kama and Volga. Those females who do not have time to postpone the caviar remain in these rivers for the winter.
The biggest Beluga
The largest representative of this species was caught back in 1922 in Russia in the Caspian Sea. Her weight was 1224 kilogramBesides she was with caviar. And so far is the leader in the world.
When you look at a photo confirming this fact, it simply can not believe that this truth. This fish looks more like a monster.
There are some more examples confirming huge sizes of this fish. Anyone can see this gigantic fish in the Kazan Museum. From her did the scarecrow. When it was caught, the weight reached a whole ton, and the size is 4.17 meters.
Another instance can be seen in the Astrakhan Museum. This fish was caught in the Volga and reached the maximum mass - tons, more precisely, 966 kilograms. The length of this beluga was a little less than six meters. As sources tell, the poachers caught this fish, they gutted from it to caviar, and the fish was thrown away. Frightened by what they can land, they reported this discovery to the museum staff. So this fish turned into a giant scarecrow.
Causes of confusion
Often you can meet people who confuse Belugu with other species of fish. Why? And everything is very simple: before the word "Beluga" treated whales. Everyone knows that whales are undoubtedly larger than Beluga. As a result, incorrect facts appeared that they caught Belugu weighing about two tons. Perhaps it was just a whale, which is also called Belukha. But Beluhi differ not only with their huge mass, but also by the fact that they know how to sing. Abroad also meet such confusion. There Beluga is indicated by such a word as Sturgeon. In connection with this catch large fish The families of sturgeon are believed to Beluga.
Azov Beluga differs from the rest wide and short head, wide fish and forehead as well high Tom. More Beluga in the Sea of \u200b\u200bAzov is growing much faster than in other pools. The main place where this fish postpones caviar, is the Don River. Migration occurs from March to December. Young individuals feed on fry. Larger individuals feed on bulls and crustaceans. There is even information that they can eat even jellyfish and comb. As a result of the reduction in the number of bulls, which they are mainly powered, and there has been a decrease in the number of this fish.
How to catch this kind of fish
To date, this fish catch strictly prohibited. But if you are engaged in sports fishing, you can try to catch it. What is needed for that? First of all, it is necessary to purchase a special tackle that will not harm fish. If you still succeed in poring this fish, you can't eat it, because according to the rules of sports fishing it is necessary to measure, weigh, take a picture, and then release back into the water.
So that success is obvious, it is necessary to catch it in rivers such as Volga or Don. For bait, it is better to take a shallow fish or raw meat. But be careful - this fish is very strong, it can easily turn the boat. Currently, it was possible to catch the largest part weighing 300 kilograms.
The reasons for the disappearance of Beluga
All this led to a reduction in the number of this species, she it was rarely postponed to caviar and became small sizes.
Currently, this type of fish is listed in the Red Book. Special services Fight with poachers. In many cities and countries of the world, it is painted artificially to maintain the number of disappearing fish. Thanks to all this, there is hope that this fish will be a lot again and large sizes. And if not us, then our children or grandchildren will be able to see giants with their own eyes.
Beluga is freshwater fish that has been preserved to this day with deep antiquity. Her progenitors existed on Earth in jurassic periodwhich was 200 million years ago.
This is the largest of all freshwater fish ever existed on our planet. Her body can reach the length of about five meters, and it can weigh about two tons.
In this giant fish There is only one relative - this is Kaluga, which lives in the Far Eastern rivers.
The body of Beluga in shape resembles a torpedo, it is narrowed to the tail, and in its sides there are five rows of bone plates, which are still called shields whose task is to protect the fish from the exposure from the outside. Top part This fish is painted in greenish or dark gray colors, and its belly, as a rule, is white.
Beluga muzzle has a peculiar form: its lower part is stretched and a little taken up. It is on this part that the mustache, which have the functions of the sense of smell. They are hidden mouth, in shape resembling a sickle. Different representatives of this species do not differ from each other by color. But the sizes of females are superior to males.
The main habitat of Beluga is the Caspian Sea, although it can be found in other seas - for example, Azov, black or Adriatic. But with the approach of the spawning period Beluga leaves salty waters And the upstream of freshwater rivers is sent, and it rises quite high enough. Beluga lead single image Life, making exceptions only for the period of spawning, in order to pair.
Beluga is the largest among the family. Throwing caviar occurs in spring time, and not every year. As a rule, this fish requires a break from 2 to 4 years. After the female rises up the river, she postpones great amount Ikrin - from three hundred thousand to seven and a half million. After that, he considers his mission done and returns back to the sea. Young Beluga hatch out somewhere in May-June and immediately fully show their predatory character. The main food for them at this time becomes minor invertebrates. So, reinforcing along the way, the whites are gradually moving towards the sea. For the month they grow up to 7-10 cm, and over the year - up to 1 meter.
Beluga is a sustrain relative. With a favorable coating of circumstances, the female can pectinate about nine times. But the fact that this fish and her caviar represent a huge fishing value, does not give her to live, in most cases, and half of the life measured by it. Callery it and legally, and illegally.
Beluga - Fish of the sturgeon family, which today is an extinct view as a result of unauthorized slab and cruel extermination for the sake of caviar mining.
This is the most big fish from those that are found in fresh water. It has huge sizes (the largest known person in length reaches 6 m, and its weight is about two tons).
Beluga - Fish of the sturgeon family, which today is an extinct view
Copies of such sizes today are practically not found. Due to the fact that until recently, this species was commercially, and for the reason for the loss of natural places of spawning, the population was noticeably reduced. So unusually large fishery today you will not meet.
Beluga is very unusual for sturgeon. A huge mouth, resembling a giant crescent, occupies a large part of it. A mustache near the mouth is a bit flattened, resembling small leaflets, serve to smell, which these fish is very developed. But they have a bad vision, so they are oriented with the help of developed coordination.
The individuals of different gears have the same color. Dark gray or greenish back and bright, almost white belly. Usually females are superior to the size of males.
Beluga - unique viewwhich exists almost 200 million years and reached us, practically without changing its appearance (except weight). Because of the bone cover, it seems that she seemed to be cheer in the shell to live safely to the present day and be protected from attacking other predatory inhabitants of reservoirs.

Habitat
The habitat is mostly black, the Caspian and Azov seas. The greatest number was recorded in the Caspian Sea - here this fish can be found most often. She is sent to the Volga on the Volga and rises to the rover of Kama. This fish was found at the coast of Iran. On the Volgograd hydraulic dispenser, a fox was built for her, but because of a bad work, it was not used after some time, and the valuable fish stopped massively to dwell in the Volga.
This is the largest fish of those that are found in fresh water.
The Black Sea Beluga was seen from the shores of Yalta near the coast of Crimea, was actively distributed in Danube (there were about 6 species there). Fish migration in the Danube had a natural move until the HPP was built between Serbia and Romania. As a result, a lot of kilometers were covered with the way to the usual ways of spawning. Not having to migrate, the population began to lose genetic activity as a result of crossing between related individuals.
Fish having such weight can only find themselves a sufficient amount of food in the sea, and their presence in the reservoir speaks of a healthy environmental situation. For spawning, this species overcomes long distances to get into the freshwater medium.
If it turns out that the water is polluted, then the female refuses spawning, and after some time, the eggs are absorbed in its body.
The fish constantly changes the place of stay in the reservoir, it is typical for white Beluga, loves to go to the depth, where there is a strong course, here it finds food, and deep holes are most suitable for recreation. In the spring, when the upper layers of water warmed enough, you can see the size of the surface and in the shallow water.
With the onset of autumn, the fish goes to the depth and changes the manner of behavior and its diet, starting to eat seashells and crustaceans.
All representatives of the sturgeon family overcome large distances in order to find a place for spawning and a sufficient amount of food. Beluga can be in salty and fresh water, but some species are only freshwater and live exclusively in rivers. The reproduction occurs only in rivers, and due to the length of the life of individuals, a very large period of time is required in order to reproduce offspring.
Beluga (video)
Reproduction
Sexual maturity comes quite late. The Azov Beluga-Sames is ready for reproduction aged 12, and the female - no earlier than 16-18 years. The Caspian species matures later, so, the female becomes a half-turn to 27 years and gaining its weight. Unlike other fish, which, after spawning, the Azov Beluga can produce offspring repeatedly, but at a certain period of time constituting from 2 to 4 years, thus, spawning can occur 8-9 times for life. The female on average defects about a million eggs, and in some cases much more - it depends on its size and age.
There are 2 races that go to spawning and choose spring or autumn period Migration. Going to the river from January to May, the female mosk caviar in the same year, and the autumn race in order to find a convenient place for spawning and safely occupy him, comes in August and is forced to stay on the winter. Thus, she molds caviar only for the next year after the removal of the river. Falling into the hibernation and covered with mucus, Beluga is waiting for May or June, after which it postpones caviar in places having a stony bottom and fast current. Males appear in the places of spawning ages earlier, and the process of fertilization occurs almost the same way as all fish bone view, - externally. In the future, the individual continues to conduct a single lifestyle.
During the spawning of Beluga, you can observe jagging fish out of the water, so it provides an easy yakrian output. Having an oval shape and size with a small pea, dark gray eggs are glued to stones and, well fixed, remain in this position for up to 8 days. But most eaten by other fish, and therefore the percentage of survival is very low.
After the spawning occurs, the female is sick for some time and does not take food. After a short break, the need for food increases, and Beluga begins active search Impregnation. It is almost impossible to find it in such a volume in the river, so sturgeon go back to the sea and at great depths find themselves. Since Beluga is a predator, its diet is mostly fish. Herring, Vobla and Anchovies are the most preferred food. And to eat alive organisms, this predator begins to be still a fool. Belongs live on well-hot portions of shallow water and as they grow up to the sea, along the way, walking small invertebrates, and later and small fish. They grow rapidly and in a year reach a meter size.
By the way, to increase the number of Beluga, female adults are produced and removed the caviar, after which artificial fertilization is carried out and incubated in the devices intended for this. The felons give rise, and then released in the river for natural growth.
The disadvantages of this method are that the young, grown in an unnatural environment, cannot fully take care of food and does not have instinct of self-preservation. The number of fish that is returned is very small. Thus, this method was ineffective.
Fishing and illegal fishing
On catching all street breeds imposed strombing prohibition. In private farms, where they are breeding them, the prohibition does not work. If a rare fish was suddenly falling on the river, it must be released, or it will be considered poaching. But, despite all the prohibitions, fishing valuable fish continues, and the business for the mining of the firing caviar flourishes.
Danube Beluga - ancient viewwhich has been preserved since the times of dinosaurs and is carefully guarded, but smuggling continues to gain momentum, and the markets of Europe are saturated with caviar of this and other sturgeon. Enough high price due to canceled taste qualities. According to its properties, the caviar of the Beluga exceeds the caloric content of meat itself and is very useful productSupporting health and beauty. Great protein content that has unique property A fully absorbed by the body and the presence of antioxidants reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. Such valuable qualities of caviar lead to the barbarous destruction of Beluga as a species. Since the fish is on the verge of extinction, it is listed in the global red book and is protected by the law of those states in which it is found.
Black Sea Beluga was seen from the coast of Yalta not far from the coast of Crimea, and was actively distributed in Danube In Russia, there is a mechanism for administrative influence on persons engaged in the illegal mining of this valuable breed. Large penalties for each caught person in aggregate with a fine for illegal fishing are impressive amounts. Criminal liability is also envisaged to imprisonment for up to 5 years.
As a result, Beluga became an unrealized dream for the law-abiding fishermen, and to find it, it will take a lot of time to spend and solve a lot of problems with fishing licensing.
Many mythical stories associated with a huge fishery told fishermen. For example, a legend of the stone, which was found in the kidneys giant Beluga. Wonderful properties Healing from any ailments and pigeons were attributed to him. The owner of such a trophy was protected from all sorts of troubles and misfortunes, attracted good luck and provided a rich catch and the safety of the vessel in bad weather and storm.
They also said that it was possible to poison the poison of whisching Beluga. Poisonous was supposedly meat and the liver of a young individual, but no one found confirming such "facts". The expression "roar (or screaming) by Beluga" and now often heard, but it has nothing to do with the sturgeon representative. Loud sounds make up whale with a consonant name - Beluha.
