Caviar is Sturgeon fish eggs in simple terms. Many species of Sturgeon fish exist. As a result, the caviar produced a variety of colors depending on the species. Caviar is a hearty dish, and it is a healthy dish.
Until about 1900, the United States led export at 600 tons per year until about 1900. The United States suspended harvesting for a time to prevent the sturgeon fish from becoming extinct due to over-harvesting of Sturgeon fish for the caviar. Since the ban, the population has never recovered sufficiently, resulting in the caviar's continued use as a luxury product. Since then, harvesting, import, and export have been restricted.
However, since sturgeon don't mature until they are 6-25 years old, depending on the species, starting a farm takes time. Aquaculture must develop spawning techniques before they reach maturity. By 2012, there were 21 sturgeon farms in the United States and Canada, according to the North American Sturgeon and Paddlefish Society.
