#1 In one life's small mysteries. I have wondered why Canada doesn't have a caviar trade. They have sturgeon in their northern rivers. I know because I saw one in the Winisk river (which flows into Hudson's bay), big sucker too. Must have been 6 feet long.

#4 lol, bad! Except that I feel bad for laughing at that one, because it's so serious. When are we gonna get for real about the UN? Wonder what Bolton had to say about this one!

#5 I remember reading some years ago that in order to protect the Caviar industry, they were no longer using Sturgeon roe, but another fish. (Name escapes me at the moment, "Blackfish" or something like that) Mind you this was 20 or so years ago.

Believe it was Coelacanth Jim. Very rare.

#7 I imagine Soviet era rivers that could actually burn that drained into the Caspian probably did wonders for the ecology there.

I'm sure they'll find a way to blame Bush though.

#8 Besoeker, That was apparently the source of caviar before sturgeon. It got so bad that the fish got almost extinct and replaced by sturgeon as a source of caviar. Coelacanth was believed to be extinct for some 120 million years, but recently found to be quite alive and though not in great numbers, with little care, it may be coelacanth's turn to find its way to our tables, giving sturgeon a break.
