Oversized sturgeon often outgrow private ponds as they reach maturity, presenting owners with the challenge of finding a safe and ethical solution. Sturgeon Sanctuary offers the UK’s first dedicated rehoming program for mature adult sturgeon, providing a reliable and compassionate alternative.

Each fish is carefully relocated to a purpose-built habitat designed to support its health, longevity, and natural behaviours. Our team ensures:

• Expert handling during transport

• Long-term care within enriched environments

• Ongoing health monitoring to maintain welfare standards

Pond owners can rehome their sturgeon with confidence, knowing they are contributing to a sustainable initiative that prioritizes species conservation and responsible aquaculture.

This program also supports the operational efficiency of Sturgeon Sanctuary by integrating mature sturgeon into the breeding population. It significantly reduces the financial burden of sourcing high-value female broodstock or raising juveniles to maturity—a process that typically spans five to six years. Through this initiative, we strengthen our genetic pool while promoting ethical stewardship across the ornamental and aquaculture sectors.

 

For all rehoming enquiries, please contact our team to arrange the safe and responsible transfer of your sturgeon. We provide expert care throughout the relocation process and ensure each fish is placed in a purpose-built environment tailored to its long-term welfare
