The Chinese sturgeon living in China mainly lives in the Yangtze River Basin. In the breeding season, Chinese sturgeons of the right age usually breed near the Jinsha River in the Yangtze River Basin. Some Chinese sturgeons may also live in other water systems such as Qiantang River, Ganjiang River and Pearl River, but the overall number is relatively small. The above-mentioned Chinese sturgeons, which mainly live in the Yangtze River, are wild. In addition to them, there are also some cultured individuals. They are more widely distributed.
