Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: November 2002

Sturgeon products - caviar and meat - are of high quality and value and have well-established markets in the U.S. and worldwide. Sturgeon have many positive culture attributes including fast growth, good feed conversion, ability to accept crowding, and relatively good hardiness. Challenges in sturgeon culture are the long maturation period (5 to 10 years depending on species) and the limited availability of brood fish and seed.

Key Words: USDA • SRAC • Sturgeon • Caviar
