But unlike the flashier salmon, much of the green sturgeon's life history is as murky as the waters in which the adults like to feed. They can live for up to 60 years and grow to great size for a freshwater fish -- but they do not begin to breed until they are about 15.&nbsp;</p> February 05, 2024 - 10:23am Andy Fell /blog/saving-green-sturgeon ºÙºÙÊÓƵ to Safeguard Spring-Run Chinook Salmon Broodstock /news/uc-davis-safeguard-spring-run-chinook-salmon-broodstock ºÙºÙÊÓƵ joins state and federal fisheries agencies to conserve threatened spring-run Chinook salmon, housing captive broodstock.

It flows through the steep, rugged Klamath Mountains, past slopes of redwood, fir, tanoak and madrone, and along pebbled beaches where willows shade the river’s edge. Closer to its mouth at Requa, the trees rising above the river are often blanketed in fog.</p> July 13, 2023 - 1:20pm Katherine E Kerlin /climate/news/removing-dams-klamath-river-step-toward-justice-native-americans-northern-california
