There were several indigenous species of sturgeon fish in 19th century America which made it one of the world’s largest caviar producers. The supply was depleted through over fishing thus the government prohibited commercial fishing. But American caviar has risen again to fill the rising void created by over fishing in the Caspian Sea which has put the Beluga, Sevruga and Osetra on the endangered species list.

At present, white and hackleback sturgeon are farmed and harvested using environmentally conscious and sustainable practices. They are bred in freshwater lakes or tanks in the Pacific Northwest, California and the South and have made the U.S. a caviar player again. American caviar or roe species can include sturgeon caviar, hackleback caviar, paddlefish caviar, salmon caviar trout caviar, whitefish caviar, and lumpfish caviar.
