To all the preachers and environmentalists and vegetarians/vegans: 1. These fish are farmed. Like chickens. It is far better this way so that the natural wild population isn't harmed. 2. The fish is killed yes, but the rest of the meat is sold. Just like any other caught and sold fish in the world. The only difference is the main meat is the eggs. 3. They are killed in a humane way. The fish are put to sleep first. It's far better than other methods used in the world. I get cruelty to animals. I really do. That's why I argue FOR methods that are specially not cruel. Animals are killed and eaten as part of life and yes, I understand caviar is not required to survive I know. But the rest of the fish is still eaten. Please, please stop complaining about it. I get your points, but there's no reason to rage and argue on a youtube video about how caviar production is carried out. It's done this way, it is humane, doesn't affect the wild endangered population and is above all else, sustainable.
Hey professor... isn't it amazing how many people can't understand a simple video on caviar farming..? I couldn't believe some of the comments I read on this informative video... Show these imbeciles how the chicken they eat is "harvested and packaged"... then maybe they'll start understanding how we get our food to that supermarket at the corner up the street... I'm embarrassed for them... I wish I could afford good caviar, the protein levels are very beneficial, and the different types of protein, vitamins and minerals it contains are some of the best... (education is the cure to stupidity)
John Grindinger Yes! I completely agree! I try in most cases to be as nice as possible but some really do escape me with their lack of knowledge. I don't mean to sound all elitist either. If a person wants to learn I commend them, caviar is excellent for the body, I eat it often in sushi as sushi is my favourite food. I just wish that people would be a little less criticizing to what they learn from videos like this. Nice to find someone on here who is like me. :)
I just saw this episode on tv and that’s what I though. Harvested ovaries and eggs..🤔 they should show it all, see how many ppl still continue to eat them 😡
+StringStorm Although bacon is delicious, you should definitely at least try it. It tastes like small pearls bursting full of very flavourful fish soup.
Although this video was highly interesting and informative, I found different things the lady said to be quite funny. How she called the bacteria casings "nuggets" and how she was talking about how the egg filled ovaries are "extremely fragile and need careful handling" while the person grates them on a board to detach the soon to be money pits known as caviar.
I found that part where she ground the ovary against the grate odd too, but I figured she had to know what she was doing. It looked like it worked out, so I guess she was gentle enough. Edit: okay, after seeing that thing with the paper towel, I'm kinda doubting that this is the most high end factory.
As i see it, fishes to feel pain, but they obviously lack the mental capacity to think about it or react in any way that is not reflexive. Many die in ways that aren't pain-free, to say the least. The fact that these sturgeons get to be put to sleep being being killed is a privilege they have, they wouldn't be that lucky in the wild.
Caviar is actually quite tasty, most people just dont have the gut to try it because they can't get over the fact of what it is. Some roes will even pop in your mouth like candy almost. Its also healthy for you as well.
I had caviar one time. Bought a little jar of it while it was on sale. I actually really liked it, and might get some more in the future when I feel like treating myself with a splurg buy.
Farms fish for caviar and meat so no wild fish can be harmed and thus the population will stay abundant, people still scream 'abuse'. Humans are so naive.
***** Uhmm... My kids are human? Those are fishes? You know biology right? The difference between a humans and fishes. I did't know that my kids have gills
***** that's a terrible idea for a business, no one wants to eat humans. Caviar on the other hand is worth millions. Its a good thing you're not a business man.
***** That's good business to the ones who wants dirty money, but still bad cause you know why? Its illegal. Unless you want to recreate that movie where they make clones of wealthy people who pays them only for the clones' organs to be harvested.
+Almac x It's pretty simple really, if they were using wild ones, the fish would go probably extinct, but seeing as they're using captive ones, no such danger is posed to that breed of fish.
I still don't see why people are so disgusted by practices that allow even the poorest of people to actually eat. IF all our domesticated animals were treated like pets, meat would become expensive. Would you really pay 50 dollars more for a pound of chicken? Also think about it if you take away the meat industry you would put millions of people out of work. Farmers would become bankrupt as 80% of the crops produced here in the states goes to feed animals. Why do you think the government didn't just close all nicotine factories? Because taking one industry away would have a cascading effect on the current economy, unless you can create new jobs for all the people you want to put out of work, current practices will not change.
surely those farmers just go into vegetable production, which would equal a food surplus which will help with world hunger. this caviar farming is not sustainable, you have to feed them protein and where does that protein come from meat or other types of fish both of which are unsustainable
Sam Irwin Do you know the reason why farmers became bankrupt in the 1920s, even before the great depression? It's because there was a food surplus, this caused prices for farm goods to drop which caused the farmer's income to drop, economy slowed down for farmers and most of them lost their farms due to foreclosure. Just because there's a surplus doesn't mean it's any good. Also world hunger is present because we don't distribute the food well enough, not because we don't have enough. Not only that thanks to technology only 3% of Americans need to hold farming jobs to sustain the entire nation. But this doesn't mean that if farmers were to go out of business that it won't have an impact in economy because most farms are connected to large corporations with a large amount of employees.
over hyped stuff... make tacos 1000$ each and it will achieve the same level of 'delicacy'...only difference would be that tacos accually taste good unlike the tiny salted water baloons
why is everyone complaining about this? we eat chicken eggs on a regular basis and no one is whining about that. do we suddenly not care about chickens?
Alex Draper no you just pump it with steroids, force it to pump out the eggs like a machine for its short life living in horrible conditions before it dies of exhaustion and is sold for meat, so yeah i can see that killing fish in a nice manner with no pain is so much worse than chickens
Harry Page It truly depends on where the chickens are raised, because many chickens are treated nicely but some unfortunate chickens are treated horribly, but most die after they have had a decent life. Sturgeon have a decent life span too, so they are equal as USSPhoenix23 said
Alex Draper hahahahaha i don't give a shit how they treat the animals as long as it tastes good :') i was just pointing out how framing caviar is no different to farming any other animal, you cant bitch about how something is killed because of its eggs when every other farmed animal gets the same or worse.
This only for the Sturgeon, there are other less expensive fish eggs. I just ate a chicken egg sandwich, and I have fish eggs in several jars in a box I ordered for myself and a friend. I also eat ant larva from time to time. So am I a bear or a man?
No, Never heard of the dude till I saw him acting in a TV show, and while it isn't a slight, he was acting before a camera, When you live like that all the time, and do it even if you aren't being watched, then it is a lifestyle not a TV show.
The fishes eggs are unfertilized so their not pregnant. It's just like when a women ovulates. They have an egg but unless its fertilized your not pregnant
If you think about it - i's pretty nasty, murdering a pig, cutting it up and draining it&'s life sustaining blood from it's once living body. You then proceed to filet the flesh and sear it over intense heat, then put it in a mouth hole at which point an appendage manipulates it around your mouth and enamel covered pieces of living flesh grind the bacon.
man, really shitty caviar. sturgeon should live at LEAST 16 years for good caviar, and you add the salt to taste, not by % mass, because 2 sturgeons can produce very different levels of saltiness of eggs.
mesahusa Lol and I asked you how did you know, not whether you knew or not. You totally didn't answer my first question but whatever. You don't own a sturgeon farm, thats for sure.
I never ate caviar to feel rich, I love anything that comes from water pretty much. As a kid I ate a lot of caviar and crayfish. We caught crayfish ourselves in lake by leaving traps with rotting fish in them and then simply collecting them in the morning. Boiled crayfish with dill and salt... mmm.....
Fortunately, there’s at least one other facility that harvests the eggs with a different technique. They use pressure and positioning to massage the eggs out of the body of the fish. The fish then goes back into the tank to grow another batch instead of being killed or having surgery. The eggs are more valuable than the meat so it makes more sense to farm them repeatedly in this way.
@@spencertang5155 ua-cam.com/video/QUF4tEknk_s/v-deo.html This is one method that I’ve seen. But I saw another company that simply flexes the fish and the eggs come out, and it takes seconds to harvest before the fish go back in the water. I’ll try to find that video for you as well.
@@spencertang5155 couldn’t find that video, but I did find some others. These fish live for something like 100 years if they’re not killed. Most companies who raise them for caviar kill them to harvest their eggs when the fish are only 7-10 years old. That’s how long it takes for them to be able to have their first batch of eggs.
@@spencertang5155 that video where he just flexed the fish to harvest the eggs it took only seconds. He moved them to a kiddie pool size holding tank, picked up a fish out of the water, basically did a chiropractic adjustment that sprayed the eggs into a catcher by bending the fish backwards over his knee, and then put it back into the water to finish spawning before grabbing another fish out & doing the same quick motion. No slits or hormones or anything. Really wish I could find that video again.
Jon Doe Yes it is. It is very different. Why do they use fish? Because fish don't eat grains, they eat fish. Only in the last few weeks have there been two scientific organisations who have claimed to of solved the problem of fish feed, by creating a non fish containing version. Why would they do it that way though? Catching wild fish to feed the farmed fish? Because that's the only way they've been able to feed them. Please do some research first.
Paratrooper 6 Well actually, things like the membranes from the sturgeon ovaries that they harvest are likely what they'd add to the feed. They would not go out and capture fish to feed farmed ones, that is wasteful and expensive. Instead, they would use offcuts of farmed fish with nutrients added in to make it more beneficial. "Please do some research first" ;)
Paratrooper 6 As it happens, the majority of shrimp aren't predators at all. Many eat via filtration of the water around them, or through consuming parasites or dead tissue off other fish that they clean. Hardly what you'd call a predator...
id love to take a month off and visit this plant or any similar. that filtering system was amazing and the molasses injection is so smart :). They must have so many tanks if they cycle out fish every 12 years to keep up with demand. so cool !
though I could never afford caviar I had friends who lived by a river and caught sturgeon . they treated me to caviar. The taste was amazing nothing like I've ever experienced I can see why it's so prized.
They use a large sharp knife to split open the fish and then they use sharp scissors to cut out a large chunk of the fish's abdomen. After that the remainder of the fish is put into a grinder and made into compost and animal feed. Some say this process does harm the fish… yes.
It's actually not that sustainable. The high protein feed is usually made of smaller fish that have to be caught in the wild. In the States, it might be a little different since there's lots high protein waste meat that people don't eat so it might be little more sustainable but still.
they could turn the waste meat into black soldier flies, and red worm. turn that into a meal and mix it with plant life to create the pellets. with a little bit of another farm fish like catfish or something that has a decent amount of oil in it
This argument comes up more with Salmon and especially Tuna. The Sturgeon on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. If you haven't already, I recommend the book "Four Fish" to anyone interested in the topic.
Thanks. I'm more familiar with salmon and shrimp farms. Didn't even know sturgeons were farmed until I watched this video. High protein usually = meat of some kind so I just assumed.
The sad thing is that these fish could reach 100 years of age if you would let them. But nowadays it's basically impossible for them to become that old even in the wild.
Still curious how someone has came up with all this shit! Not just caviar. Just 80% of the shit we eat. I love food but damn who was the Guinea pig that was like ok I'll try or was like look what I stumbled on. What is it? Here man just take a bit I don't know what it is yet.
h8ncars I'm always wondering about shit like that! Like when we were wandering about foraging for things like mushrooms before we had books and stuff to refer to were we just like 'well Geoff just died I guess we don't eat that'
sometimes I just wonder where people got the idea to eat half of the things that we eat. I mean who was the person who thought that hey we should cut out the ovaries of fish and eat the eggs!? Yeah that sounds like a great idea! I understand that everyone has their own taste and that things that I find strange are delicacies for others, but just the process itself seems like a head scratcher. Just my opinion.
Still doesn't explain it. It's not something that is easy to obtain, the process is kind of out there so I still don't get who came up with the idea cut the eggs out of fish ovaries salt them and then eat them...weird just weird.
***** They caught a fish, one of them is female, they cut open the fish and clean it up, but because it's hard to get food, they try to utilize most part of the fish, this include their eggs. Same goes for liver or blood from farm animal.
tnt ntn Seems Legit lol No but I can understand the process of discovering new food sources, but my comment (take from my 21st century Western Schema) was just remarking on how odd a process it seemed to get such a seemingly out of the blue food, and why anyone would do it. Obviously Aesthetic Brah was right with the survival of the fittest comment, but I was just making a comment on the odd nature of the food and its processing
Presumably early hunter gatherers were not particularly picky about what to eat. If they could get it, and it was edible it was going to get eaten. If it tasted good then bonus points for that but it was probably going to get eaten anyway. Its highly doubtful that anyone initially went after fish roe specifically, early fisherman probably ate half the parts we don't really consider edible anymore.
Pretty bad how a fish/living thing is kept captive its entire life to be used for money which is most likely spent on material things to impress other humans
so... just to be sure, they cut the fish open to get to the ovaries, right? man, i'm no fish hugger but isn't it cheaper if they just let the damn thing lay eggs?
I really am happy all these different seafoods and fish can now be farmed. Wild does taste a little bit better and is better for you but almost every fish is overfished and extremely hard to get. This can cause a massive price increase for something that will become less and less sustainable due to the price. Farming is for sure the better option.
ItsSomeDeadGuy That and the expensive king crab is actually a infestation destroying ecosystems with no natural predators. The fish market is fucking horrible.
Why's everyone getting so mad that they have to kill the fish to get the eggs? They are going to take the meat of the fish for food as well. A good cut of sturgeon should be an adult anyway. All they are is using as much as they can from the animal.
+Angelo Cipollaro Those fish wouldn't have existed had the farm not made them. And they had no positive or negative effect on the ecosystem. so its not wild
narrator: "we harvest the flesh and eggs" most of you clowns in the comments: "OMG does the fish survive?!" They literally slice it open and rip out the ovaries, do you honestly think the fishes' life is valuable enough to perform a oophorectomy then stitch it back up so it's swimming by dinner time?
1:07 "The fish produce tiny metabolites that are toxic to them."
Translation:
The fish are swimming around in their own piss and shit all day.
That's why it's filtered dumbass
+tohopes They filter it with enzymes to kill those toxins. It said so in the episode.

Harry Page you're not happy with any animal production are you?? why did you click on this video?
Alex Draper hahahahaha i don't give a shit how they treat the animals as long as it tastes good :') i was just pointing out how framing caviar is no different to farming any other animal, you cant bitch about how something is killed because of its eggs when every other farmed animal gets the same or worse.
2:52 "They are extreamly fragile"
-rubs it hard on metal
This only for the Sturgeon, there are other less expensive fish eggs. I just ate a chicken egg sandwich, and I have fish eggs in several jars in a box I ordered for myself and a friend. I also eat ant larva from time to time. So am I a bear or a man?
Bear Grylls?
No, Never heard of the dude till I saw him acting in a TV show, and while it isn't a slight, he was acting before a camera, When you live like that all the time, and do it even if you aren't being watched, then it is a lifestyle not a TV show.
I'd say you're a man that's not afraid to try new things.
If you think about it -it's pretty nasty, harvesting pregnant fish and taking their eggs.
The fishes eggs are unfertilized so their not pregnant. It's just like when a women ovulates. They have an egg but unless its fertilized your not pregnant
+Hannah Rosenthal Hi Hannah - thanks for letting me know, but the fish are killed to get their eggs right? I guess that's the only way.
+Luyen Dao But it's not like the rest is wasted. The rest is used for flesh/protein.
If you think about it - i's pretty nasty, murdering a pig, cutting it up and draining it&'s life sustaining blood from it's once living body. You then proceed to filet the flesh and sear it over intense heat, then put it in a mouth hole at which point an appendage manipulates it around your mouth and enamel covered pieces of living flesh grind the bacon.
Shut the fuck up, you uneducated vegan.
man, really shitty caviar. sturgeon should live at LEAST 16 years for good caviar, and you add the salt to taste, not by % mass, because 2 sturgeons can produce very different levels of saltiness of eggs.
Are you serious? How would you know how long sturgeon need to live for good caviar?
SuperKnowledgeSponge because i do
mesahusa Probably the Gordon Ramsay's caviar documentary.
But nice try anyway.
SuperKnowledgeSponge exactly. because i do
mesahusa Lol and I asked you how did you know, not whether you knew or not.
You totally didn't answer my first question but whatever. You don't own a sturgeon farm, thats for sure.
Fine bros?
Lol yes
Lol yes
Yup me too :)
Yesss
Haha yes
Nope, i want mine from wild sturgeon!! It goes great with my panda steaks and scrambled bald eagle eggs!
If you eat too much vegetables, you will hallucinate that all animal could live happily forever.
I never ate caviar to feel rich, I love anything that comes from water pretty much. As a kid I ate a lot of caviar and crayfish. We caught crayfish ourselves in lake by leaving traps with rotting fish in them and then simply collecting them in the morning. Boiled crayfish with dill and salt... mmm.....
I've never had sturgeon caviar but I like flying fish roe.
+ICUSeriously yeah that stuff is awesome
that tastes amazing
I agree with you, some things are expensive and the food that we can eat is good. who would want to eat salted raw egg?!?!
THEY KILLED THE FISH FOR HER OVARIES
yes, humans have done that in many years? Did you know, in order to get food we have to kill...
She actually has it better than most other fish. They kill her while she's sedated.
yeah but they use the flesh for food too. we eat kfc and beef and stuff everyday so....let's all be vegetarians!
and the meat is used
MISOGYNY!!!
Fortunately, there’s at least one other facility that harvests the eggs with a different technique. They use pressure and positioning to massage the eggs out of the body of the fish. The fish then goes back into the tank to grow another batch instead of being killed or having surgery. The eggs are more valuable than the meat so it makes more sense to farm them repeatedly in this way.
Do you know what company does this method?
@@spencertang5155 ua-cam.com/video/QUF4tEknk_s/v-deo.html
This is one method that I’ve seen. But I saw another company that simply flexes the fish and the eggs come out, and it takes seconds to harvest before the fish go back in the water. I’ll try to find that video for you as well.
Hmm… I wonder what the fish feel during that process…
@@spencertang5155 couldn’t find that video, but I did find some others. These fish live for something like 100 years if they’re not killed. Most companies who raise them for caviar kill them to harvest their eggs when the fish are only 7-10 years old. That’s how long it takes for them to be able to have their first batch of eggs.
@@spencertang5155 that video where he just flexed the fish to harvest the eggs it took only seconds. He moved them to a kiddie pool size holding tank, picked up a fish out of the water, basically did a chiropractic adjustment that sprayed the eggs into a catcher by bending the fish backwards over his knee, and then put it back into the water to finish spawning before grabbing another fish out & doing the same quick motion. No slits or hormones or anything. Really wish I could find that video again.
This is the most Canadian sounding narrator ever.
Needs to eat every 4 mins?
me too
No wild fish were destroyed in the making? Really? Where do you think the fish feed comes from? Hint, it's made of fish (wild fish).
Jon Doe Yes it is. It is very different. Why do they use fish? Because fish don't eat grains, they eat fish. Only in the last few weeks have there been two scientific organisations who have claimed to of solved the problem of fish feed, by creating a non fish containing version.
Why would they do it that way though? Catching wild fish to feed the farmed fish? Because that's the only way they've been able to feed them. Please do some research first.
Paratrooper 6 Well actually, things like the membranes from the sturgeon ovaries that they harvest are likely what they'd add to the feed. They would not go out and capture fish to feed farmed ones, that is wasteful and expensive. Instead, they would use offcuts of farmed fish with nutrients added in to make it more beneficial.
"Please do some research first" ;)
kyogreblast Sorry. It's what they have to do for Salmon, prawns, and a few other fish types which are preditors.
Paratrooper 6 As it happens, the majority of shrimp aren't predators at all. Many eat via filtration of the water around them, or through consuming parasites or dead tissue off other fish that they clean.
Hardly what you'd call a predator...
kyogreblast www.abc.net.au/landline/content/2014/s3984247.htm
id love to take a month off and visit this plant or any similar. that filtering system was amazing and the molasses injection is so smart :). They must have so many tanks if they cycle out fish every 12 years to keep up with demand. so cool !
though I could never afford caviar I had friends who lived by a river and caught sturgeon . they treated me to caviar. The taste was amazing nothing like I've ever experienced I can see why it's so prized.
How do they harvest the eggs? Are the fish killed or harmed after extraction?
of course they are
They use a large sharp knife to split open the fish and then they use sharp scissors to cut out a large chunk of the fish's abdomen. After that the remainder of the fish is put into a grinder and made into compost and animal feed. Some say this process does harm the fish… yes.
The fish are sleeping, so no harm is done to them. They are just slightly shocked when they are pulled from the tubs.
TY.
No they are not harmed or killed after extraction they are killed before you uneducated idiot
It's actually not that sustainable. The high protein feed is usually made of smaller fish that have to be caught in the wild. In the States, it might be a little different since there's lots high protein waste meat that people don't eat so it might be little more sustainable but still.
Protein feed does not only come from Animal waist but soy and corn waist products as well. Soy and Corn feed is much more sustainable.
they could turn the waste meat into black soldier flies, and red worm. turn that into a meal and mix it with plant life to create the pellets. with a little bit of another farm fish like catfish or something that has a decent amount of oil in it
This argument comes up more with Salmon and especially Tuna. The Sturgeon on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. If you haven't already, I recommend the book "Four Fish" to anyone interested in the topic.
Thanks. I'm more familiar with salmon and shrimp farms. Didn't even know sturgeons were farmed until I watched this video. High protein usually = meat of some kind so I just assumed.
Idk why, but I cracked up when the woman said "the workers mix in a gas to put the fish to sleep" LOL.
The sad thing is that these fish could reach 100 years of age if you would let them. But nowadays it's basically impossible for them to become that old even in the wild.
i was curious from furious, so i came here.
Still curious how someone has came up with all this shit! Not just caviar. Just 80% of the shit we eat. I love food but damn who was the Guinea pig that was like ok I'll try or was like look what I stumbled on. What is it? Here man just take a bit I don't know what it is yet.
h8ncars I'm always wondering about shit like that! Like when we were wandering about foraging for things like mushrooms before we had books and stuff to refer to were we just like 'well Geoff just died I guess we don't eat that'
Becky Teasdale so true
fish has nerves and is able to feel pain, while a tomato doesn't have an nervous system
"As the fish grow larger, the feeding schedule ratchets down a bit."
-- get turnt
sometimes I just wonder where people got the idea to eat half of the things that we eat. I mean who was the person who thought that hey we should cut out the ovaries of fish and eat the eggs!? Yeah that sounds like a great idea! I understand that everyone has their own taste and that things that I find strange are delicacies for others, but just the process itself seems like a head scratcher. Just my opinion.
Evolution, Survival of the fittest
Still doesn't explain it. It's not something that is easy to obtain, the process is kind of out there so I still don't get who came up with the idea cut the eggs out of fish ovaries salt them and then eat them...weird just weird.
***** They caught a fish, one of them is female, they cut open the fish and clean it up, but because it's hard to get food, they try to utilize most part of the fish, this include their eggs. Same goes for liver or blood from farm animal.
tnt ntn Seems Legit lol
No but I can understand the process of discovering new food sources, but my comment (take from my 21st century Western Schema) was just remarking on how odd a process it seemed to get such a seemingly out of the blue food, and why anyone would do it. Obviously Aesthetic Brah was right with the survival of the fittest comment, but I was just making a comment on the odd nature of the food and its processing
Presumably early hunter gatherers were not particularly picky about what to eat. If they could get it, and it was edible it was going to get eaten. If it tasted good then bonus points for that but it was probably going to get eaten anyway. Its highly doubtful that anyone initially went after fish roe specifically, early fisherman probably ate half the parts we don't really consider edible anymore.
Imagine if aliens did this exact thing with human eggs... yeesh
No need for aliens. Humans already do this to other humans. Animals would also do this to humans when they could.
“The eggs are VERY delicate.”
Proceeds to drag them across a cheese grater.
If you've ever had sushi, you've had fish eggs. Its usually called Rowe.
***** the sushi that had orange balls all over, that is fish roe dude....
unless u have never eaten that as well...
A 4.5 oz tin of caviar is around $500. so just that mesh alone has like $10000 worth of caviar.
Imagine falling into that tank with the grown fish
You won that conversation.
The greedy companies could let a few fish go and help re-populate the oceans instead of continually keep every single one to kill.
Pretty bad how a fish/living thing is kept captive its entire life to be used for money which is most likely spent on material things to impress other humans
But it's delicious.
But nobody seems to complain about how pet fish are kept in small little fish tanks to live a life of just swimming around in there to entertain us.
Matthew Dyer I assume you dont eat meat at all?
Matthew Dyer So are we captive at work used to get money to impress are customers
+Matthew Dyer, I bet those fish live a better life than you do
Well I'm a peasant so this isn't for me 😆
1:57 Mote Marine Labs! They have an aquarium in Sarasota Florida!
"They are very delicate"
*Proceeds to rub eggs vigorously against metal cage*
so... just to be sure, they cut the fish open to get to the ovaries, right? man, i'm no fish hugger but isn't it cheaper if they just let the damn thing lay eggs?
iirc that is past their prime state, by the time they're laid they are too mature or "overripe"
Lol people's demand for caviar
No they put the ovaries in, then close the fish up.
Marvin
wait how the hell does that work?
Javier Cx They cut them open and make blood loss low and steal their ovaries and then they die.
I FUCKING LOVE CAVIAR
I really am happy all these different seafoods and fish can now be farmed. Wild does taste a little bit better and is better for you but almost every fish is overfished and extremely hard to get. This can cause a massive price increase for something that will become less and less sustainable due to the price. Farming is for sure the better option.
These people who are checking on the fish is just people who you hired...
So the fish died? Just for glamour?
And food. The entire fish was used. Your cans of flaked fish have to come from somewhere!
Just for food.
the pregnant fishes are never wasted bruh they are always used for seafood
_In an alternate dimension where fish are the dominant species:_ "Oh boi, I can't wait eat these *human babies!* ".
Human eggs you mean....
Yup. Salted unborn baby fish sound AMAZING
it sounded a bit alien when she said "harvesting ovaries" o-o
In China by the Russian border, caviare is POOR MANs food and is served at breakfast
Lobster and crab also used to be the moor man's food since no one expected people would want to eat scum eaters.
Depending on the crab it's still poor food.
ItsSomeDeadGuy That and the expensive king crab is actually a infestation destroying ecosystems with no natural predators. The fish market is fucking horrible.
So was lobster, then they realized they are overfishing it and it's suddenly very rare.
"they are very fragile"
*_scrape scrape scrape_*
I remember my first time trying caviar, I ended up puking
Looks like a perfect place for a Caviar farmer
Caviar looks like it could be done at home if you had the certain fish.
that's like like housing a cow in your house, because it's possible...
***** well true. but there isnt much factory devices is what i mean, everything is so simple it could be done at home
VexxLoL please watch the video again.
It could be, but getting the fish is a major pain.
Jim Mowreader And the feeding system, and the food, and the bacteria, and the water filter, and the chilling room, and the ultrasound sensor...
Captive or wild, it's still sad
And delicious. The sadder the harvesting, the more tasty the food is.
Quality always comes with a price weather it’s money or commitment.
People who say they hate “caviar” have most likely never eaten caviar.....
Absolutely Fascinating.....
THEY TOOK HER OVARIES OH GOD
Who came here from kids vs food?
ME
Caviar used to be served in everyday bars. The rich made it worth more than it is.
Expensive Sturgeon Cavier paired with top shelf vodka is on my bucket list of flavors I MUST experience before I pass...
Why's everyone getting so mad that they have to kill the fish to get the eggs? They are going to take the meat of the fish for food as well. A good cut of sturgeon should be an adult anyway. All they are is using as much as they can from the animal.
tHE FISH ARE CUTE wHAT
Mertalia WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!😣😣😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭
now i am going to run in a fish restaurant and scream :" you're all eating caviar that was attached to a sharks ovaries!" and then run away
The baby fish looked really cute
Makes you wonder who caught and gutted a female sturgeon 400 years ago and saw those eggs and said: "I think I'll eat these ugly black things"
She said no wild fish were destroyed to get the caviar to the market but they have to kill and cut open the sturgeon to get it so?????
+Angelo Cipollaro They have "farm fish".
+Angelo Cipollaro Those fish wouldn't have existed had the farm not made them. And they had no positive or negative effect on the ecosystem. so its not wild
+Oliver Casey she gets that, her point is, the advertisement is an oxymoron.
Oliver Casey oh I don't care about that homie, if I got my hands on some Caviar I'd slurp that shit up
louisasmiles tfw I'm a man
All the PETA Members commenting on this video.
Imagine having to pick broken shells out of thousands of eggs
narrator: "we harvest the flesh and eggs"
most of you clowns in the comments: "OMG does the fish survive?!"
They literally slice it open and rip out the ovaries, do you honestly think the fishes' life is valuable enough to perform a oophorectomy then stitch it back up so it's swimming by dinner time?
No fish were destroyed? What happens to the fish whose ovaries are removed?
+ClaustrophobicCarrot they put them to sleep...
vincent112233445566
It's a caviar farm. What use do they have for fish with no ovaries?
no use they kill them afterword
vincent112233445566
They said no fish were destroyed though.
they were talking about not endangering the animal
it's 2 am, i was watching ricegum, how did i get here?
So happy that the sturgeons don't get killed. they just harvest the eggs.
