Viza/Sturgeon 2020
In accordance with archeological finds, peoples living along the river Danube thousand years ago, already in the prehistorical age, used to catch fishes mainly sturgeons (Russian sturgeons and Acipenser huso-s) migrating in large quantities from the Black Sea. For instance, on the area called Kisalföld, to be more precise from the copper age locality of Szabadrét-domb in Győr, some bones of sturgeons were found.
