	<dc:description>Spends most of its time in the sea, usually close to shore (Ref. 27547).  Enters estuaries of large rivers and moves far inland to spawn (Ref. 5723).  Individuals larger than 48.3 cm feed mainly on fishes; smaller ones feed mainly on chironomids, but also takes small crustaceans, other insects and mollusks (Ref. 1998).  Feeding ceases just before spawning (Ref. 1998).  Excellent food fish that is sold fresh, smoked or frozen (Ref. 9988).  Eggs marketed as caviar (Ref. 1998).  In the past, the airbladder was made into isinglass (Ref. 27547).</dc:description>
