I know the Brittish do this, keep sturgeon in ponds, and I was wondering where I could get some native US species for stocking. If regulations are too tight, I would consider stocking Eurasian species. Any help appreciated.

Get in touch with your local wildlife service. They can tell you if it is legal to keep them.

Also What is the deepest part of the pond?? If you live in a wintery part of the US, then it will have to be over 4 feet deep so the water doesn't freeze to the bottom of the pond and a large enough area for the wintering fish to have space to live.

I'm pretty sure you can keep certain sturgeon species in aquaria in the US, so if the pond is deep enough and on your property I say go for it. if sturgeon arent an option, id definitely still put somethig big and cool in there.
