Caviar: A Lucrative Worldwide Export for Moldova

At a sprawling complex on the site of a farm in Moldova's region of Transnistria, workers are harvesting caviar and striking it rich.

From behemoth beluga fish workers harvest eggs that the firm Aquatir exports around the world for hundreds of dollars.

But the real treasure is in the company's rare albino belugas, which are set next year to produce a gold-tinted white caviar tasted only by the wealthiest people on the planet.

Sturgeon are one of the more old types of fish.
It's cool that they extract the caviar without killing them.

So is this actually in Moldova or in Transnistria?

I think im going to stop eating caviar. Its not worth the exploitation and pain the fish go through

[kathrynrodlun]

Greedy. I'd rather have the fish. Rich people dont need that. Too many hungry people to justify that practice. I am allowed my opinion like anyone else.

Terrible. Tormenting the Fish.
Just lost my appetite for Caviar!
