A pricey indulgence that once required killing the sturgeon from which the eggs were harvested, may now be a sustainable delicacy. According to an article in Thursday's Independent, Mottra, a new caviar producer, has come up with a way to harvest the eggs without killing the fish: "The eggs are massaged out of each sturgeon through an incision in its lower abdomen." The company farms the sturgeon in Riga, Latvia. Once the eggs are extracted, the fish are allowed to heal and then produce the next year's harvest, while breeding normally.
One small step for your soirees; one giant leap for sustainable fishery.

I don't know whether I'm more horrified to learn that sturgeon are normally killed for their eggs or that they are now merely sliced open for their eggs. Something tells me that the massagers don't go to the trouble of sewing them right back up again once they're done emptying them of their vital seeds.
This is definitely getting retweeted and posted on www.greenwala.com (an online "green themed" social network). Thank you...I think.
