'Build a ship before you burn a bridge'
Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't been writing for a while; I was taking a little summer break, but now I'm back!
Personally I'm a BIG fan of seafood of any type, whether it's octopus, squid (calamari), oysters, lobsters, or any other type of shellfish! Another thing in the seafood family that I enjoy is caviar. Caviar is fish eggs, and, just to assure you, they do not taste nearly as bad as you'd think them to be!
Here's and interesting fact about 'European' caviar............
THE EUROPEAN STURGEON CAVIAR BAN:
Once common, the European sturgeon is now extremely rare due to overfishing and poaching, and because locks and polluted estuaries have made many rivers unsuitable for spawning; few active spawning sites remain. This sturgeon is critically endangered, and international trade of the fish itself and/or any products from it, including caviar (salted roe), has been banned.

This is very unfortunate, for it is an excellent display of our, as humans, impact on the ocean, and how we can directly harm it. Her is some more information about the European Sturgeon:
THE EUROPEAN STURGEON:
The European sturgeon can weigh up to 880 lb (400 kg), is 11 ft (3.5 m) in length, and lives 13-295 ft (4-90 m) in depth. Their distribution: in coastal waters of northeastern Atlantic, Mediterranean, and the Black Sea.
Like most sturgeon, this species swims from the sea into large rivers to spawn in gravelly areas. These prehistoric-looking fish belong to a primitive group in which only the skull and some fin supports are made of bone. The rest of the skeleton consists mainly of cartilage. Instead of scales, five rows of distinctive bony plates, or scutes, run along the body. Two pairs of barbels hang down from the pointed snout and are used to search out bottom-living invertebrates. The European sturgeon can live for up to 100 years.
