Taxonomic Remarks
Acipenser colchicus was described as a subspecies of A. gueldenstaedti, then considered as a subspecies of A. persicus, and is now recognized as a species by some works. On the other end, other works suggest that A. persicus, which is similar to A. gueldenstaedti, is a synonym of the latter. We will wait that the taxonomoic situation gets more clarity before changing the list of valid species, which follows the World Sturgeon Conservation Society one. Check ECoF, IUCN and FAO for more details. Anyway in FishBase, it is possible to retrieve the information under the name that was used as valid in each publication.

Anadromous. Inhabits coastal and estuarine zones at the sea. Breeds in strong-current habitats in main course of large and deep rivers on stone or gavel bottom. Juvenile stay in riverine habitats during their first summer (Ref. 59043). Adults migrating to breed take the path of short, fast flowing mountain rivers (Ref. 33773). Maximum reported length for female is 176.1 cm TL(Ref. 58888).
