Extraction of caviar from farmed fish in Iran became possible

For the first time in the country, caviar was successfully extracted from farmed fish by Iranian researchers.

Dr. Mahmoud Bahmani, Deputy Director of Research and Vice President of the International Sturgeon Research Institute, said: Caviar extraction from farmed fish in an ozone-producing material was possible for the first time in the country.

Bahmani added: Acquisition of sturgeon breeding method in breeding conditions was one of the measures of this institute that for the first time in the country in 2005 and 2006 we were able to breed two species of ozone and sturgeon and one of them is Dan One caviar.

He stated that the quality value of caviar and minced meat is equal to the samples caught in nature, he reminded: the percentage of caviar in farmed sturgeon fish was higher than the total body weight in the normal state.

While sturgeon makes up 10 to 13 percent of the weight of sturgeon in natural specimens, it is 13 to 18.5 percent in farmed fish, said the deputy director of research and deputy director of the International Sturgeon Research Institute.

Referring to another scientific success of our country’s fisheries researchers, he stated: Considering that sturgeon is considered as one of the important economic species of the Caspian Sea, the Iranian Fisheries Research Institute has a special place for research on these fish and one One of its concerns was to create conditions for the artificial reproduction of sturgeon. By conducting various research projects, we succeeded in artificially propagating ozone, outbreeding and producing juvenile ozone fish this year by breeding male and female ozone breeding fish.

Bahmani, pointing out that at present this generation of fish produced is in the breeding stage, expressed hope that from this breeding generation produced, it will be possible to breed and obtain the next generations.

Acquisition of this technology will lead to changes in the conservation of endangered species of sturgeon and increase productivity and more than stocks of sturgeon, which are also valuable, said the deputy director of research and vice president of the International Sturgeon Research Institute.

Qarabrun, Chalbash, elephant fish, Ozone Boron and Sheep are important species of sturgeon in the Caspian Sea.
