Shovelnose Sturgeon are ancient, bottom-dwelling fish found in the large rivers of the Mississippi River basin. They have a distinctive flattened snout and bony scutes along their bodies. Shovelnose Sturgeon feed on insects, crustaceans, and small fish. They are one of the few sturgeon species still relatively abundant, making them a popular target for conservation-minded anglers.
