No. Sturgeon have scutes that are in 5 rows down their body. Top/Sides/Belly. Scutes are like bone but are made of keratin like our fingernails and hair.
Sturgeon also have scutelets and denticles that cover most their body. Some species are very smooth but most feel like sandpaper and the scutes can have very sharp spurs or barbs that easily cut flesh.
