White sturgeon females deposit as many as one million eggs which sink and stick to the gravel bottom after being fertilized by male sturgeon. With no care from their mother, the eggs hatch into larva similar in shape and size to half-inch long tadpoles in about one week. The larva drift in the current, living off their yolk-sacs for three to four weeks while they grow larger and develop fins, rays (stiff bony spines), and scutes (horn-like plates).
