In NA "sterlet" gets used in the aquarium trade, because they know they'll never sell "sturgeon" to people who know they get to be 6 ft. Sterlets only get to be 48 inches maximum in the wild, about 24 inches in captivity. I really don't know what the "sturgeon/sterlets" sold in our aquarium stores will get to - but the wild sturgeon can definitely get in excess of 6', so they use the name "sterlet" in the stores regardless of what the common name is here, just so that you don't think they'll get that size. Even two feet is usually way too large for an aquarium. -- derek
