It would be nice to get into the caviar market, using cesairin egg harvest to save the fish. Thanks

Better meaning ease of growing and profit wise. For White Sturgeon, I'd concentrate my searches to facilities in California, Washington and Oregon. http://www.proaqua.com/media/61/Photo-Gallery/Fish/White-Sturgeon http://fishphysiology.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Michaels1.pdf http://centralvalleyaquafarm.com/index.php/sturgeon/ I'd also try calling the Monterey Bay Aquarium and see if they can direct you to any white sturgeon producers. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

This seems the be the nly one talking about purchasing them... at least as I've seen so far. I have a 3 acre lake I maintain a bit like an aquarium. I have several species of fish in the 4 foot+ range and would just love to someday trump them all with a could white sturgeon, I believe Acipenser rubicundus Has anyone had any luck purchasing them? I am in Ohio. I had to get licensed in Kentucky and Ohio to transport my 45 paddlefish, then drive to Kentucky to get them... hoping to just get a few Sturgeon to grow in my warehouse until their large enough to transplant them into my pond. Any assistance on tha matter would be appreciated.
