The meaning of this passage under phylogeny and taxonomy:

" While ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) have a long evolutionary history culminating in our most familiar fishes, past adaptive evolutionary radiations have left only a few survivors, such as sturgeons and gars."

This doesn't make sense. There are a lot of surviving families of ray-finned fishes. Pciszek (talk) 13:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Updating information

Template:U (quite a handle), let's work at getting accurate information about the status of sturgeon. For example according to California Dept of Fish & Wildlife: "White Sturgeon are not state or federally listed, but they are categorized as a state Species of Special Concern." We don't want to conflate specific populations of sturgeon with the global population, either. You might also read this IUCN updated assessment. Atsme 💬 📧 17:19, 3 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello, the reason I have done my edit was because the information in particular is mentioned by the IUCN, which certainly had stated 85% of all sturgeons are threatened but following their recent assessment all species were uplisted. This includes the white sturgeon, which is vulnerable. I was not aware that this took into account other organisations as I only took the IUCN red list as a source.
