Do sturgeon live in the pacific ocean?

Yes, several sturgeon species are native to the Pacific Ocean. One well-known Pacific sturgeon species is the white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus). White sturgeon are anadromous fish, meaning they spend part of their lives in freshwater rivers and streams and part in the ocean.

White sturgeon are found along the Pacific coast of North America, from California to Alaska. They are particularly common in the Columbia River, Fraser River, and Sacramento River systems. White sturgeon are also found in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea.

Other sturgeon species that inhabit the Pacific Ocean include:

* Green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris): Green sturgeon are found along the Pacific coast of North America, from California to Alaska. They are also found in the Gulf of Alaska and the Bering Sea.

* Sakhalin sturgeon (Acipenser mikadoi): Sakhalin sturgeon are found in the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. They are also found in some rivers in Japan and Russia.
