The beluga (also known as European Sturgeon) are huge fish who swim long distances and can live for more than 100 years. Sadly, they are critically endangered because of the Caviar industry that sells their eggs.
Some farmed beluga, such as the ones in the picture, are kept in marine farms which are crowded nets inside the ocean. Others are kept outside the ocean and inside shallow, filthy and crowded tanks almost their entire lives. Only about a month prior to having their eggs taken, they’re allowed to swim in clean water for the first time. This is done to remove the taste of filthy water from the eggs.
Although most pregnant females are killed when they are cut open for their eggs, some farms maintain the females alive by injecting them with hormones that induce them into early labor. Then, workers either perform surgery on them or “massage” their eggs out, all while the fish are conscious and outside the water.
The process of egg harvesting can be repeated every 15 months and throughout the lifetime of the female, which may last many decades. Decades inside filthy, crowded and shallow waters, with absolutely nothing to do other than to suffer through one day after the other.
