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.
