Baby giant water bugs, like true bugs, have piercing-sucking mouthparts. Water bugs catch small fish, stab them with their beak-like mouthparts and squirt special juices into the fish. These juices change the fish's insides into a soft goo - perfect for 'babies' to slurp up.
Rare sturgeon cultured in BC
Rare sturgeon cultured in BC The Kootenay sturgeon live for at least 100 years,
and have been in the Kootenay drainage system for 10,000 years
since the last Ice Age receded. They can weigh up to 200 kilograms.
There has been no wild spawning for 30 years, since the Libby Dam
in Montana was constructed. This week more than 1300 juveniles were
released into the US side of the Kootenay River, after being raised
in a hatchery in Cranbrook, BC. This may help to save these fish
from extinction. OCTOBER 19, 2000
