Summary:[EN] A previously unmentioned citation in the specialised literature of the presence of sturgeon (Acipenser sturio) in river environments of the Iberian Peninsula is provided. In the Die­ cionario of Pascual Madoz it is said that the River Fluvià, as it passes through the town of Armentera (Girona), has abundant stocks of sturgeons, and what is more, it cites the presence of Twaite shad (Alosa fallax). European eels (Anguilla anguilla) and the Mediterranean bar­ bel (Barbus meridionalis) in the same stretch of river.
