This article contains description of catches and status of sturgeon and sterlet stocks in the ObIrtysh basin, Lake Baikal and the Lena River. The reasons behind decrease in the population level are made clear which are as follows: construction of hydro power plants, poorly regulated fishing and intensive poaching. Introduction of separate populations of sturgeon fish into the Red Books of endangered species proved to be an ineffective stock replacement measure. Proposals have been made to raise the level of artificial reproduction of sturgeon and to strengthen the respective conservation measures
