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

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.
