20 years of caviar and commercial sturgeon farming in Russia
https://doi.org/10.36038/0131-6184-2024-5-93-104
Abstract
The article examines the history of the formation of caviar and commercial sturgeon farming in Russia (USSR) and the current state of this sub-sector of fisheries. It is noted that, despite the short period of existence and difficulties of growth, caviar and commercial sturgeon farming in Russia was established and continues to develop successfully. Its peculiarity is the transition mainly to a rational and humane lifetime method of obtaining raw caviar. The main problems of the development of the domestic caviar market are competition with imported products and excessive regulation by the state. The ways of solving these problems and expanding the raw material base of production are proposed.
