Global Gold Caviar Tasting Browne Trading Company caviar video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6Dt087yeY0 Browne Trading is the only caviar company in the United States that co-brands with producers of caviar. This means you can trace the caviar right back to the farm (and even the fish) it came from! It also means that our caviar is the finest the producer has to offer, that we have a say in the aquaculture environment, and that our caviar is the most sustainable the market has to offer. We invite you to join Caviar Master Rich Hall for an online caviar tasting featuring the best that Browne Trading has to offer. Pop your champagne, settle down in the comfort of your own home, and get ready for some serious caviar knowledge and a whole lot of deliciousness! ________________________ Caviar Spotlights: Caviar Galilee Prime, Israel Caviar Galilee, based in Israel, raise their sturgeon on an all-natural diet of plants and proteins, in pristine waters which originate from the Dan Springs. These idyllic conditions result in sturgeon that produce roe of spectacular quality and pureness. Tasting Profile: Smooth hazelnut flavor, clean finish and firm texture - a fine example of an Osetra sturgeon caviar. About the Farm: Caviar Galilee’s innovative farm was founded in 1992 when a team of aquaculture professionals imported genuine Russian sturgeon directly from the Caspian Sea. The descendants of those sturgeon are raised in conditions that closely match their natural habitat. Galilee’s operation is located in close proximity to the main source of the Jordan River, the Dan Springs, which flow with crystal clear snow waters from the peaks of Mount Hermon. Caviar Galilee’s aquafarm is one of the world’s foremost technologically advanced and environmentally-focused facilities of its kind. More than 500,000 Caspian sturgeons are raised here in natural, untouched and oxygen-rich water. ___________________ Giaveri Osetra, Italy By harnessing traditional Russian methods of caviar-production, Giaveri has been able to produce a delicious and visually striking osetra sturgeon caviar. By harnessing traditional Russian methods of caviar-production, Giaveri has been able to produce a delicious and visually striking osetra sturgeon caviar. The notably pure and clean finish of this osetra can be attributed to the pristine artisanal well waters in which Giaveri’s sturgeon thrive. Tasting Profile: Dark amber in color with some golden hues, this osetra has a consistent nutty and buttery flavor with a crisp pure finish. About the Farm: Caviar Giaveri is a small, family-run aquaculture facility that initially raised, eel, carp, and sturgeon for sport-fishing, and later developed a state-of-the-art caviar production facility in Treviso, Italy. Set-apart not only by consistent quality and flavor but also by its attention-to-detail (which extends to even the sourcing of the water used for aquaculture – mineral water from artesian wells), Giaveri produces some of the highest-quality caviar on the market. ______________________ Imperial Gold Reserve, China The striking gold color of Imperial’s osetra caviar alone makes it an exclusive selection, but it’s not just the gold color that sets this caviar apart. Imperial Caviar has become known for producing caviar with large firm pearls, each of which will individually melt in your mouth with a nutty flavor and smooth finish. Historically, if a Russian Osetra caught in the Caspian Sea exhibited golden pearls, it’s roe was immediately ear-marked for the Tsar himself! Tasting Profile: Uniquely clean, crisp, semi-sweet flavor with nutty undertones. The medium sized pearls look pretty different from other caviars, featuring a noble golden yellow color and glossy appearance. About the Farm: Ali Reza Korouji of Imperial Caviar has been a friend of Browne Trading and a trusted source of the world’s best caviar for decades, initially sourcing wild Beluga, Osetra, and Sevruga caviars from Iran. Imperial is responsible for producing some of the most visually-striking caviar on the market, choosing select specimens from stocks of farmed sturgeon raised by Kaluga Queen in the 10,000 Great Lake region of China. the sturgeon are raised in deep-water pens where they thrive in conditions similar to their natural, wild habitat. __________________________ Royal Belgian Osetra, Belgium Royal Belgian produce some of the finest caviar available on the world market. Taken from stocks of true wild Caspian Sea sturgeon, our Royal Belgian Osetra caviar is as close to wild Osetra as you can get. You will undoubtedly be impressed by this selection, whether experiencing the delicacy for the first time or the 100th. Tasting Profile: A classic smooth, creamy flavor, and nutty finish. The texture is firm and the pearl size large. About the Farm: Run by husband and wife team, Dr. Verdonk and Mia Verdonk, Royal Belgian cultivate a variety of Sturgeon species. From the fertilization of the egg up to the production of caviar, every step at Royal Belgian is monitored – and only one person, Mia, is entrusted with the final production of the caviar!.

  • Clean &Unclean Meats
    Clean & Unclean Meats God expects all who desire to have a relationship with Him to live holy lives (Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:15). The Bible says following God’s instructions regarding the meat we eat is one aspect of living a holy life (Leviticus 11:44-47). Modern research indicates that there are health benets to eating only the meat of animals approved by God and avoiding those He labels as unclean. Here is a summation of the clean (acceptable to eat) and unclean (not acceptable to eat) animals found in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14.

  • The Key Threats to Sturgeons and Measures for Their Protection in the Lower Danube Region
    THE KEY THREATS TO STURGEONS AND MEASURES FOR THEIR PROTECTION IN THE LOWER DANUBE REGION MIRJANA LENHARDT* Institute for Biological Research, Serbia IVAN JARIĆ, GORČIN CVIJANOVIĆ AND MARIJA SMEDEREVAC-LALIĆ Center for Multidisciplinary Studies, Serbia Abstract The six native sturgeon species have been commercially harvested in the Danube Basin for more than 2,000 years, with rapid decrease in catch by mid 19th century. Addi- tional negative effect on sturgeon populations in the Danube River was river regulation in Djerdap region, due to navigation in the late 19th century, as well as dam construction in the second half of 20th century that blocked sturgeon spawning migrations. Beside over- fishing and habitat loss, illegal trade, life history characteristics of sturgeon, lack of effective management (due to lack of transboundary cooperation and change in political situa- tion in Lower Danube Region countries) and pollution all pose serious threats on sturgeon populations in Lower Danube Region. International measures established by the Conven- tion on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in late 20th century, listing of beluga (Huso huso) as an endangered species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, as well as development of Action plan for conservation of sturgeons in the Danube River Basin, had significant impact on activities related to sturgeon protection at beginning of 21st century. These actions were aimed towards diminishment of pressure on natural sturgeon populations and aquaculture development in countries of Lower Danube Region. The main goal of the Action Plan was to raise public awareness and to create a common framework for implementation of urgent measures.

  • Brochure: Sturgeon Identification Guide
    Andrey Nekrasov © Photo: STURGEON IDENTIFICATION GUIDE Identification of Sturgeon Species This guide was designed to support the identification of sturgeon species that can be found in the Danube and the Black Sea. It describes seven sturgeon species - one of them an exotic species popular in aquaculture - and three hybrids. The guide also offers detailed features that can be used to differentiate between the species. The primary goal of this guide is to help law enforcement officials identify sturgeon species they may encounter through their work. WHAT IS A STURGEON? Sturgeons and paddlefishes, also referred to scientifically as Acipenseriformes, are a group of ancient fish originating more than 200 million years ago. They migrate mostly in order to spawn and live in freshwater, coastal waters and seas of the Northern Hemisphere. According to the IUCN*, 23 of the 27 species are on the brink of extinction, being thus the most critically endangered group of species on Earth. *International Union for Conservation of Nature Sturgeons have quite unique features: Depending on the species, Five rows of bony scutes: Two nostrils on the snout smaller scutes can also be one row along the back, found in between the rows two along both sides, If a fish has only of the larger scutes, behind and two on the belly one nostril, it is the dorsal fin and along the most likely from anal fin, which can be a very aquaculture. important characteristic for differentiation.

  • Conservation and Sustainable Use of Wild Sturgeon Populations of the NW Black Sea and Lower Danube River in Romania
    Conservation and sustainable use of wild sturgeon populations of the NW Black Sea and Lower Danube River in Romania Raluca Elena Rogin Marine Coastal Development Submission date: June 2011 Supervisor: Egil Sakshaug, IBI Norwegian University of Science and Technology Department of Biology Abstract Sturgeons belong to one of the oldest families of bony fish in existence, having their first appearance in the fossil records approximately 200 million years ago. Their natural habitats are found in the subtropical, temperate and sub-Arctic rivers, lakes and coastlines of Eurasia and North America. In the Romanian waters, five anadromous species of sturgeon, out of the total 25 species known by science, once migrated from the Black Sea into the Danube for spawning: beluga; Huso huso , Russian sturgeon; Acipenser gueldenstaedtii , stellate sturgeon; A. stellatus , ship sturgeon; A. nudiventris and the European Atlantic sturgeon; A. sturio (Knight, 2009). The NW Black Sea and Lower Danube River sturgeons, like many Acipenserids, were seriously affected by the rapid changes brought by human development. Being one of the finest caviar producers in the world they were intensively harvested for many centuries. Heavy uncontrolled fishing and destruction of habitat led to the collapse of most of the Acipenserids and the total disappearance of the European Atlantic sturgeon (A. sturio ) from the NW Black Sea. Worldwide public attention was focused on sturgeon conservation after their listing in the IUCN Red List of Threatened species in 1996. In 1998, after evaluating their abundance in the wild, CITES also decided to strictly regulate the international trade in all Acipenserids. The paper aims to analyze and review conservation measures that were taken locally, nationally and internationally by humans and the effect they had on one of Europe’s only naturally reproducing sturgeon populations.

  • Indiana Division of Fish & Wildlife's Animal Information Series: Paddlefish
    Indiana Division of Fish & Wildlife’s Animal Information Series Paddlefish (Polyodon spathula) Do they have any other names? Paddlefish are also called spoonbill, spoonbill cat, shovelnose cat, and boneless cat. Why are they called paddlefish? They are called paddlefish because of their paddle-like nose. Polyodon is Greek for “many tooth” in reference to the numerous long gill rakers and spathula is Latin for “spatula” or “blade.” What do they look like? Paddlefish are shark-like fish with long, paddle-shaped snouts. They have large mouths, without teeth, that are located far back on the underside of the head. Paddlefish have many gill rakers (filaments used to filter food from the water) that are long and slender. The eyes are small and just above the front edge of the mouth. The rear margin of the gill cover is long and pointed into a fleshy flap. The tail is deeply lobed with the upper lobe longer than the lower lobe. The skin is without scales and the skeleton is made of cartilage. Paddlefish are bluish-gray to black on the upper parts and light gray to white on the belly. Photo Credit: Duane Raver, USFWS Where do they live in Indiana? Paddlefish are rare to occasional in Indiana and they live in large rivers. What kind of habitat do they need? A paddlefish needs very specific habitat conditions to meet its needs. During most of its life it lives in quiet or slow-flowing waters rich in the microscopic life (zooplankton) on which it feeds. However, it must have access to a large, free-flowing river with gravel bars that flood frequently during its spawning season.

  • Acipenser Gueldenstaedtii Brandt, 1833 Russian Sturgeon Ossetra
    Acipenser gueldenstaedtii Brandt, 1833 Russian Sturgeon Ossetra Order: ACIPENSERIFORMES Family: ACIPENSERIDAE SUMMARY The Russian Sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii may live to 48 years weighing around 100 kg. The species matures sexually between 8-16 years and most female spawners in the wild are aged 13-23 years. Spawning occurs every 2-3 years. A. gueldenstaedtii has a wide distribution, occurring in the Caspian Sea, Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, and originally in many of the tributaries of these seas. However the construction of dams on virtually all these rivers has significantly reduced the spawning area. The Ural River is one of the few major spawning rivers that has not been dammed. In addition to loss of habitat, A. gueldenstaedtii has been subject to overfishing and egg-production has been disrupted due to environmental pollution. In the early 1990s, around 30% of the population in the Caspian Sea and almost all the stock in the Sea of Azov originated from re-stocking programmes. However, the restocking of the Volga River by Russian hatcheries decreased from 1991-1995 levels by almost one third during 1996- 1998. In contrast, the number of fingerlings released by Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and Iran has generally increased since 1995. Only Iran monitors the success of their restocking programme. The species is widely bred in captivity to produce meat and fry for both domestic and international trade. There is no record of caviar production in captive breeding facilities. When commercial sturgeon catch in the Caspian peaked in 1997, A. gueldenstaedtii comprised almost 80% of the total catch and still provides a major portion of the global caviar production.

In this study, we defined quality, traceability and safety issues related to processed fish roe products from different species. The results obtained allowed to distinguish eggs originated from different fish species and to discriminate between fish roes and caviar samples obtained from four different sturgeons species. We observed that roes showed a trend of grouping according to ecological and reproductive habits of fish species. We highlighted the differences between eggs originated by farmed and freshwater fish, enriched in n6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and all the others, in which n3 PUFAs were prevalent.
