Tastes fishy
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:06:26 am)

Cushca:
Nasty. I don't generally like things that have come from the sea and look wrong. Caviar, oysters, mussels, anemones. You get the idea.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:09:15 am)

Chewing Wax:
Mmm. I love them all. You get the idea.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:11:03 am)

Heruka:
I had a pet sturgeon once. he was eaten by my gar. I don't think they raise them in captivity for cavier. they don't reproductively mature till they something like 5 years old. then they'd have to kill them. does that make economic sense? raise a fish for years, then you can only harvest it once? my motto is: if it smells like fish, eat it.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:12:42 am)

Chewing Wax:
For $79 an ounce of eggs, and an adult beluga produced over 200 pounds of eggs at harvesting, yes, it makes sense.

Chewing Wax:
Shit, I'm starting a sturgeon farm in the cement pond out to the back.

(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:23:42 am)

Mrs Dr GB:
It's all wrong. All that stuff. Tastes of salt and sand and smell. Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're much better off with a cheese sandwich and some barbecue beef flavour hula hoops.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:25:08 am)

Chewing Wax:
I bought some Stilton from that guy too. Wrapped in a wet cloth.

Heruka:
I still have my doubts that they raise them,. BELUGA The Beluga Sturgeon is the most rare of the three varieties from the Caspian Sea. It can live 100 years, grow to 30 feet in length, and weigh as much as 1,800 pounds. The female requires 20 years to mature and begin producing roe, and it produces the largest grained of the sturgeon caviars. The beluga is also found in the Black, Azov, and Adriatic Seas, as well as the Dnepr and Danube rivers.

Heruka:
The beluga sturgeon, considered by far the producer of top quality caviar, has been considered a threatened species since 1996. The rapid perishing of the species has resulted mainly from illegal poaching, overfishing, and pollution of the Caspian Sea. Because of it also exists in other bodies of water, the beluga depletion also affects, to varying degrees, Romania and Hungary. The great demand for caviar worldwide has led to a draining of the species, and has led to poaching and the development of black markets where the illegal products are sold. Gangs consisting of bums and fugitive criminals who make their living by illegal sturgeon poaching live on small islands in the Delta. In 1994, 248 fugitives were caught by the police in that area; in 1995, this number was 280, and in 1996, it grew up to 623. In addition to the growing number of poachers in the Delta, riverguards are becoming increasingly corrupt as well; many cooperate with the poachers, preventing the police from arresting them, in some cases threatening the officials with machine guns.

Beluga is the most vulnerable to overfishing. Due to dam construction, it has lost almost all natural its spawning sites and during the last few years beluga has not been restocked artificially in Russia due to a lack of wild breeders. The decrease in commercial sturgeon species has increased the harvest of species which have not been caught commercially for caviar before.

Mrs Dr GB:
Nasty. Isn't it like, gritty and salty?
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:36:10 am)

Cushca:
Yes. Yes it is.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:38:11 am)

Heruka:
Sad. Poor fish lives for 20 years hoping someday to breed, then some bad people come by, kill the poor thing, just to make some rich elitist feel good. I'm not against hunting or anything like that, but I won't even take part in this vulgar offensive ritual. It should be outlawed.
(Thu Jan 3, 2002 - 10:39:41 am)

Chewing Wax:
It's not gritty at all.
