Abstract:
Historically considered a fine seafood along the East Coast, sturgeon populations collapsed in the early 20th century while those indigenous to North Carolina--Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon--are endangered species. However, two North Carolina businesses are again culturing Russian sturgeon, selling its caviar and meat. To make the fish more popular to markets which are now unfamiliar with it, North Carolina Sea Grant projects aim to aid chefs and biologists bringing sturgeon to the masses.

Abstract:
Atlantic sturgeon populations, once abundant along the east coast and North Carolina, declined until a moratorium was declared in 1991. Fish specimens collected in Albermarle Sound and the Cape Fear River were examined. Snout shortening was observed in the sturgeon but reasons for this are still unknown.

Abstract:
Captain Ernal Foster helped his father catch sturgeon as a child, a tradition in North Carolina for many years, and Foster's father was one only a few men who knew the art of making caviar on the Outer Banks. Before North Carolina banned the setting of sturgeon nets, caviar could be made with a brine solution and sold relatively cheap.
