They no longer kill the fish to extract the caviar. They can now drain the caviar through a form of cesarean, basically, and release the fish back.

- adrianN 7y agoInteresting. I wonder whether they have data on the survival and procreation rate of fish treated in that manner.
- simonh 7y agoI’d be astounded if the didn’t. They just need to tag the fish and check caught fish for older tags.

- naravara 7y agoDo fish regrow their eggs over time or is like, once harvested they're barren for life kind of deal? And if so, do they tag them to keep track?
- mkl 7y agoThey regrow them, but they're prevented from reproducing that year. In massively overfished species that take a long time to mature, this seems like a problem.
