The '''Sturgeon''' is a kind of [[fish]] endemic to the [[Black Sea]] and [[Caspian Sea]] in [[Asia]]. It can grow to six or eight feet long, in the wild, but that doesn't happen very often because most sturgeons these days are [[harvest]]ed for their [[egg]]s, or ''[[caviar]]'', when they are still fairly young. The Sturgeon population of the Caspian Sea has plummeted since the 1950s, due to the high demand for caviar.

It is currently [[illegal]] to hunt or fish for Sturgeon in the wild, so most sturgeon caviar comes from farm-raised fish. Some other [[species]] of fish produce caviar, which has taken some of the demand off of the sturgeon population. For example, [[beluga]] caviar is quite popular in [[Russia]] if you can afford it.
