The Fraser River white sturgeon are unique fish with an interesting life history. Here are some interesting points about Fraser River white sturgeon spawning behavior. Females do not become reproductive until they are approximately 20 years of age – this corresponds to approximately 150 cm in length (5 footer). Females may spawn every 5-10 years, depending on environmental factors and fish health. Spawning occurs in the Fraser typically in June and July (give or take), and generally coincides with post peak high water levels (freshet).
