The starry sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus) also known as stellate sturgeon or sevruga (Drakul, Persian: اوزون برون, and Turkish: Uzun Burun, lit. 'long nosed'), is a species of sturgeon. It is native to the Black, Azov, Caspian and Aegean sea basins, but it has been extirpated from the last and it is predicted that the remaining natural population will follow soon due to overfishing.[1]

The starry sturgeon is an anadromous species, which migrates up rivers to spawn.[6]

It is considered critically endangered by the IUCN and international trade in this species (including its caviar) is restricted by CITES.[1]
