Discover an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for growing farm-raised sturgeon in the United States. Jim Michaels, the Program Manager of Mote Marine Laboratory's Siberian Sturgeon Program in Sarasota, FL, seeks to meet the growing demand for caviar around the world, a demand that he hope will help take pressure off over-fishing the endangered wild sturgeon stocks in the Caspian Sea. But, the recirculating aquaculture technology Mote is developing for their sturgeon program also serves a greater purpose. The hope with this program is to eventually drive down the cost of the technology so that this type of farming can be applied to other species of fish, and encourage more farmed seafood production within our borders.
