"Sustainably Farmed U.S. Caviar"

"Two new, U.S.-based companies are changing the way we think about caviar – from wild, rare and unbearably expensive to sustainably farmed, available online and with more accessible prices.

Sturgeon Royal White Caviar from Khavyar.com is harvested from farmed white sturgeon.

Healthy Earth, in Sarasota, Fla., is working with Mote Marine Laboratory to develop sustainable, economically viable sources of seafood in the face of overfishing, pollution and increased demand. Its first efforts include Black Opal caviar, harvested from Mote’s farmed black sturgeon, with plans to develop bottarga from mullet roe, as well as fish oil, smoked fillets and fish meal, ensuring as little waste as possible."
