Kaluga, a bigger relative of sturgeon and endemic to the Amur, suffers most from the poaching because its stock is twice as much as that of sturgeon. Kaluga may reach gigantic dimensions for a river fish, sometimes measuring five meters long and weighing up to 1,200 kilograms. vn.vladnews.ru /Arch/2000/ISS226/text/upd28-1.html   (555 words)

Broadway Books | Caviar by Inga Saffron The fish that produces osetra caviar, for instance, is called the Russian sturgeon by the Russians and the Persian sturgeon by the Iranians, but scientists now suspect they are the same species, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. The roe of the kaluga, which roams the Amur River between Russia and China, is sometimes passed off as beluga caviar because the two are so similar, although kaluga caviar lacks the brininess of beluga. The fish's internal wiring demands that it return to the same area, even to the same spot, where it was hatched many years earlier. www.randomhouse.com /broadway/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=0767906241&view=excerpt   (2496 words)

shaken & stirred: letters to the editor #1 In the early 1970s I spent a month fishing on an island on the Volga River some 60 kilometers upstream from Astrakhan, and I clearly remember a report about a beluga fish caught earlier that summer that was some 4 meters long and weighed 1,500 kilograms. The largest fish found in fresh water are indeed the sturgeons, but they obtain a majority of their growth in marine and estuarine environments, migrating into fresh water mainly to spawn. Interestingly, in terms of biomass and length, the largest freshwater fish may be the giant stingray of the Mekong, which may attain a weight of over 500 kilograms and measure more than 5 meters from snout to tip of tail. bondgirl.blogspot.com /2004/08/letters-to-editor-1.html   (696 words)

Caviar Glossary Term The eggs or roe of selected varieties of fish that are processed and salt cured to provide a spreadable food that is considered an elegant delicacy. The Kaluga sturgeon, native to China's Kamur River and the White sturgeon (a relative of the Osetra) raised in the United States are additional varieties that are gaining in popularity throughout the world. Typically, these fish are providing a smaller sized berry that is saltier in flavor, crisp in texture and not as rich or delicate tasting as the sturgeon varieties. www.recipetips.com /glossary-term/t--33130/Caviar.asp   (713 words)

Renseignements internationaux - Aquaculture in the Russian Far East Hatcheries are used to rear young fish that are then released into the wild, a practice also referred to as "ocean ranching." Fish farms raise fish from egg to maturity in captivity, and then deliver fish to market. Still, usually fish eggs are extracted from wild species and often the fish farms buy broodfish particularly when due to low water conditions wild females do not make it up the stream to where a farm is located. It is important, when collecting broodstock and breeding, to ensure that fish are well-suited to the local ecosystem of their river system, and can survive in a river without adversely affecting wild-spawning fish populations. strategis.ic.gc.ca /epic/internet/inimr-ri.nsf/fr/gr124181f.html   (5602 words)

Portier Fine Foods Most of our fish products are cryovaced.  This type of packaging seals the fish in a vacuum-sealed envelope.  However, due to handling, sometimes a seal can break.  This does not mean that the product is bad.  It simply needs to be repackaged for selling. Before refrigeration, fish were cured in salt as a preservative.  "Lox" refers to salmon that is cured.  It is usually salty. The Department of Agriculture requires all smoked fish to be brined or cured in salt before smoking.  This process enhances the shelf life.  Portier Fine Foods uses the minimum amount of salt allowed by law. www.portierfinefoods.com /faq.html   (893 words)

PPI: No Beluga Caviar This Year Whichever is right, the salted roe of the sturgeon fish is one of the three most expensive foods in the world.
