Like most other black caviars on the modern gourmet food market, White Sturgeon Caviar is harvested from farmed fish in Californian ponds filled with artesian drink quality water.

Poaching, industrial water contamination, and dams closing off access to traditional spawning grounds have pushed many fish species to the verge of extinction, and the American White Sturgeon is now one of the most endangered species on the planet. The first aquafarms in the United States were founded in the 1880s, and this industry has been steadily increasing and evolving technologies for keeping, raising, and feeding fish, as well as harvesting caviar, for more than 130 years. Modern aquafarms offer the best possible living conditions for fish, far outperforming the natural environment in terms of water quality, food availability, and quality. The massive tanks and artificial ponds are filled with drinkable water that is aerated and purified naturally in the surrounding fields, fertilizing the soil and achieving natural mineralization. A specially balanced natural diet of worms, crustaceans, small fish, and molluscs allows for the consistent praised White Sturgeon caviar flavor and highest quality that can even compete with the wild catch caviar from the Caspian Sea, but the farmed White caviar price is far more appealing. As a result, farmed domestic White Sturgeon caviar became a favorite among chefs at the world’s most prestigious restaurants. Furthermore, aquafarms have become a sustainable and environmentally friendly source of caviar and delicious flesh that has no negative impact on wild nature.

American White Sturgeon (Acipenser Transmontanus) is the largest freshwater fish in North America, living in river basins, deltas, and seashores from the Aleutian Islands to Central California. Pacific Sturgeon, Oregon Sturgeon, Columbia Sturgeon, Sacramento Sturgeon, and California White Sturgeon are all names for this species. It is the world’s third biggest freshwater fish, after the Beluga and Kaluga, with the largest recorded size of 6.1m and weight of 816kg. Normally, wild specimens reach a height of 2m and a weight of nearly 50kg.

The American White Sturgeon is a slim fish with an elongated body, head, and mouth. The color is much lighter than in the other Acipenseridae, ranging from gray to gray-brown or pale olive, except the belly, which is pure white and has given the species its name. Like the other Acipenseridae, this species hasn’t changed much in nearly 300 million years and makes a strong impression with its shark-like dorsal fin, tail, rough skin, and rows of hard scutes instead of typical fish scales that form a kind of armour.
The American White Sturgeon is a member of the sturgeon family that can live for up to 100 years in the wild. This long life span also predetermines the long maturation time, which is 15 to 20 years, and the spawning time, which is only a couple of years.

The American White Sturgeon (Acipenser Transmontanus), also known as Pacific sturgeon, is North America’s largest freshwater fish. The IUCN Red List classifies white sturgeon as “least concern” and it is protected by CITES. This fish can grow to be 20 feet long, weigh 1800 lbs, and live up to 100 years. Females reach sexual maturity between the ages of 8 and 11 years, while males reach sexual maturity around the age of 4. Adult fish spawn every 2 to 8 years. Their natural habitat is the bottom of slow-moving rivers, bays, and estuarine areas, including the mouths of large rivers. The White Sturgeon is native to Canada (British Columbia) and the United States (Alaska, California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington) White Sturgeons are scavengers in their natural environment, feeding on dead fish and other remnants, but primarily on shrimp, clams, crabs, worms, mussels, snails, and small bony fish.
