Sturgeon Stardew Valley
TIP
The Sturgeon is one of 70 fish species available for catching in Stardew Valley. This detailed guide will explain when and where to find a Sturgeon and how much it sells for.
To complete the Lake Fish Bundle in the Community Center's Fish Tank, you’ll need a Sturgeon. This fish can be caught in Mountain Lake, located north of Pelican Town.
You can also occasionally purchase a Sturgeon: it’s available at Krobus’ shop on Wednesdays for 200g or at the Traveling Cart, where prices range from 600 to 1,000g.
When to catch a Sturgeon?
Sturgeons only appear during summer and winter. While weather doesn’t play a major role, rainy days in summer slightly increase your chances of catching one. This fish is active between 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Sturgeon Sell Prices
| Quality | Base Price | Fisherman Profession Price | Angler Profession Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 200g | 250g | 300g |
| Silver | 250g | 312g | 375g |
| Gold | 300g | 375g | 450g |
| Iridium | 400g | 500g | 600g |
In addition to selling it, you can place a Sturgeon in a Fish Pond. Once in the pond, it will start producing Sturgeon Roe, which can be processed into a luxury item. Use a Preserve Jar to turn it into Caviar, which has a base selling price of 500g.
How to Create a Fish Pond
To start breeding Sturgeons in Stardew Valley, you need to build a fish pond. Fortunately, this is a straightforward process. Robin, the carpenter, will gladly assist you if you provide the required materials and payment.
To construct a fish pond, you’ll need: 5,000 gold, 200 stones, five seaweed, and five green algae. The pond takes up 5 × 5 tiles and requires two days for Robin to complete. Once it’s ready, you can add fish to the pond, where they will thrive.
Over time, the fish in the pond will reproduce, and their number can increase to a maximum of ten. However, as the population grows, the fish will start making specific requests. These requests vary by fish species, but here, we’ll focus on Sturgeons.
FAQ
Where can you catch Sturgeon in Stardew Valley?

What Do Sturgeons Need in the Pond?

At five Sturgeons, they will ask for three Omni Geodes. Finally, when the population reaches seven, they will request a Nautilus Shell.
What season can you catch Sturgeon?
Sturgeon are available in Summer and Winter.
Does Sturgeon require a specific time of day?

Does weather matter for catching Sturgeon?
No. You can catch Sturgeon in any weather, as long as it’s the right season and time.
What is Sturgeon used for?
Sturgeon can be used in recipes and bundles, but the biggest reason to keep one is to put it in a Fish Pond to produce Sturgeon Roe, which can be turned into Caviar.
How do I increase my chances of catching Sturgeon?
Level up Fishing, use a better rod, and consider bait and tackle (like a trap bobber) to make tough fish easier to reel in.
Additional Customization Options
If you have multiple ponds with different fish species, you can label them to avoid confusion. Additionally, the "change appearance" option in the fish pond menu allows you to customize the pond’s decorations, making it unique.
