Sturgeon (Caviar Fish) Research Data
Having existed for over 300 million years, sturgeon are living fossils from the same era as coelacanths.
How do we characterize the life force of sturgeon that has allowed them to continue living past the extinction of dinosaurs and the extinction of mammoths during the ice age? Researchers in every field focus on the subject of sturgeon as living evidence of evolution.
Advantages of sturgeon as an academic specimen
- They are a living specimen of vertebrates that lived 300 million years ago.
- Also, every stage from birth to adult fish can be studied.
- On the verge of extinction, it is important to research sturgeon to preserve biodiversity.
- This research material holds strong global demand and the commercial product contributes highly to industry.
