The shovelnose sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) [5] is the smallest species of freshwater sturgeon native to North America. It is often called hackleback , sand sturgeon , or switchtail . Switchtail refers to the long filament found on the upper lobe of the caudal fin (often broken off as adults).
Pallid sturgeon turn whiter as they age and younger specimens are easily confused with adult shovelnose sturgeon since they are similar in color. [17] Like the shovelnose sturgeon, their tails are heterocercal , with the top tail fin being longer than the bottom fin, though this is more pronounced in pallid sturgeon.
