Osetra caviar comes from the Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, or Russian sturgeon, a species once threatened due to overfishing and habitat destruction. To protect wild sturgeon populations and ensure a stable supply of caviar, sustainable farming practices have become crucial. Modern aquaculture practices allow sturgeon to be raised in controlled environments, ensuring that the caviar industry can meet demand while preserving wild populations.
"Sustainable caviar farming is essential not only for species preservation but also for maintaining the high quality that gourmet consumers expect," says Dr. Carl Safina, a renowned marine conservationist.
