You can buy farm raised sturgeon. I've seen it in the stores.

There  is a small sturgeon farm out by Wilton. But don't go to it, security is very tight.

Those fish you see in the markets are black sturgeon, farm raised.

I know the guys out at THE FISHERY in Galt on Arno rd. ( Gary & Ken ) and they raise the same fish that are legal to take ( white sturgeon ) They raise them first and foremost for the eggs. Not sure if they sell the meat??? They also raise Stripers,Catfish,Carp,Black Bass.

By law, white sturgeon are illegal to sell. The ones you see at the local fish store and the markets are different species of dino.

i saw an article in the lodi news about the galt sturgeon farm. it was very interesting. and they farm the same kind of sturgeon we catch( not me yet  Smiley) in the delta. they raise them for the eggs.

the truth is a beautiful and terrible thing.. it all comes down to the size of the fish and who was there to see it..&&&&...

they look very similar, but as those in the markets grow. the white diamond plate on the side will turn black and disappear leaving only the spikes sticking out.

I talk to Gary (the fishery) often and he told me that he has had poachers trying to sneak in after the sturgeon i the back. I won't say....but he says they all have the same homeland in common????
