| White sturgeon culture commenced in 1980 with the artificial spawning of wild broodstock. Since then, private sturgeon culture has been legalized in California, generating considerable enthusiasm among aquaculturists attracted by the species' rapid growth and perceived marketability. The biological basis and husbandry practices for commercial sturgeon culture are still untried, although laboratory scale experiments have demonstrated the technical feasibility of sturgeon culture. |
