We have a normally very active Sturgeon, it's probably around 18" long.
Since last night it seems to have become very lethargic, to the point
today where it was just lying on it's back, we even thought it was dead.
This evening it seems to have perked up a bit but not to it's normal
extent, the other fish in the pond, carp & goldfish do not seem to be
affected. Could it be that we do not have enough air in the water, even
though we have a water drop.

All help would be appreciate as it is a lovely fish & we would hate to
lose it.

illness?

Cheers mate, found them just after I posted, from the web page it could
be that there is not enough oxygen in the water. I've put a couple of
air stones in yesterday & today he/she seems a lot happier.
