Sturgeon amongst one-third of all freshwater fish threatened with extinction

The Telegraph, a British newspaper, has a very neat article about the threat of extinction regarding freshwater fish. The article also features a very well down interactive map highlighting specific species threatened with extinction, including Sturgeon, and details about each species.

Amongst the nearly 15,000 freshwater species that have been discovered, 5,685 have been assessed in these preliminary findings. The preliminary results of the assessment were revealed at the annual conference of the Fisheries Society of the British Isles at Bournemouth University.
