We visited the only caviar farm in the United States legally allowed to breed beluga sturgeon. Russian immigrant Mark Zaslavsky brought live beluga into the country in 2003, just before the US government banned imports of the species in 2005.
Beluga sturgeon are native to the Caspian Sea, and are classified as critically endangered by the World Wildlife Fund.
The farm breeds five different types of sturgeon, some of which don’t take as long to mature as beluga, which allows the company to harvest their eggs for caviar and take them them to market.
Zaslavsky has pledged, as part of his agreement with the US government, to donate fertilized beluga eggs in the hopes that they will eventually strengthen the population of beluga in the wild.

When I was a child I ate an entire jar of Beluga Caviar while visiting my grandmother. My parents had chosen a much simpler lifestyle so I didn’t realize how costly it was. I just knew it was good on the toast her chef had made it on. So when I found the little jar I went to town; assuming there were a couple so it would be fine. I realized even back then; I had eaten over $1000 on under 30 minutes.

@gonzoducks8 3 года назад

I think he's only using the stripping method for the Beluga but not the Ostera or Sveruga. Makes sense though, Beluga takes a long time to mature compared to the latter. LStripping eggs in that manner can yield damaged ones, but in return he can keep having the fish produce more and doesn't need to wait another 10+ years for beluga eggs.
