I used to work as the UK Sturgeon Project Coordinator with Blue Marine Foundation. Great to see my favourite fish species getting some love!

Would love to see Sturgeon return but no point until our rivers are protected from sewage waste, chemicals and otters. Can barely find any fish in my stretch of the River Ouse these days. Great videos buddy, I enjoy your content 👍👏👌

My local stretch has been cleared of all fish & foul & crustaceans by people new to this land.

You think sturgeon can't coexist with otters? Is that a joke comment?

I've caught two out of a local carp lake. There are interesting fish, and they look so cool, but not worth catching they don't put up a fight at all they roll onto their backs and play dead still would love to see them make a come back in rivers tho

I think more should be done to preserve what we have, rather than introducing previously lost species. It's plain to see on my local river that the stocks have taken a massive hit over the last 15 years.

Couldn't agree more! I took up fishing again last year after a 20-year hiatus. The fishing is awful now, and the amount of dead fish due to pollution is unacceptable! We brits loved our wildlife, now I wonder if we will have anything left!

That’s the issue: you CAN’T preserve ecosystems when it’s components are missing.

Could the Loch Ness critter be a species of Sturgeon?

Jack, have you heard about the Brantevik eel? There's some Swedish footage on youtube but i don't think anyone has made an English language video about this astonishing fish. I know this is a sturgeon video but i din't know how else to contact you as i don't use twitter.

Reintroduction of spp native to systems anywhere demands a high level of common sense and ecological knowledge. The disaster of otter reintegration shows this clearly. Salmon and Sea trout recruitment will be influenced significantly not to mention the decimation of native stocks of other spp such as Dace from the rivers Tyne, Forth, and Clyde. The sad fact is no one is paying attention.
