Sturgeon heads for new home

6/8/2004

A sturgeon at the centre of a police investigation into its alleged illegal sale is due to arrive at the Natural History Museum.

The fish was donated to the museum after police stopped its sale.

The 264lb sturgeon was caught by Llanelli fisherman Robert Davies in Swansea Bay last week.

But Devon and Cornwall Police prevented its sale in Plymouth because sturgeon is a protected species.

The giant fish is usually found in the Caspian Sea and is rarely caught in UK waters.
