its really sad the kaluga is going to go extinct. the fact they found a real young one is a good sign, maybe it is still technically possible to save them but im doubtful w/o some sort of huge change it is realistically possible. problem is what can we do? even if every single country in the world were to ban kaluga caviar it would probably just make it even more profitable.

there are tons of species of fish that will essentially go extinct in the next 15 years. japanese and chinese commercial fishing vessels are literally raping the sea. they pay off poor governments and corrupt politicians to fish within their waters. i wouldn't be surprised if tuna, dorado, sailfish (sold to catfood companies), marlin, snapper, are all extinct soon. it's ridiculous.

I dunno, the US has had great success with all sorts of captive breeding programs for fish, I'm sure if there's an issue, someone will step in and figure out out to get these fish to spawn in captivity, if they haven't already.

i've got a question as a new guy. i've been here long enough lurking to have most stuff figured out. i know one of the names under your avatar changes with post count. but why are there 2 and sometimes they say the same thing and sometimes they say different things. what is the other one for?

new? pinky and the brain and ren and stimpy were cancelled almost 15 years ago. time to join the geezer parade lol.
i don't count that heinous ren and stimpy "party cartoon" mess that they came out with around '03. billy west wasn't even doing voices on that shit and i was appalled at the whole production. billy west is the shit. he was the voice of my youth. doug, stimpy, the cheerios bee, fry (people forget that futurama is only a year newer than family guy, which first aired in '9
. i think he did cat-dog, too, but i was not digging what i called "new nicktoons" after '98.maybe you meant new as in "not from the 50's and 60's" which is when all the prime cartoons were really made, and was really all there was to watch that was any good until nicktoons and the disney afternoon came out. tom and jerry will always be the best to me. always.
i am SUCH a dork.
edit: i REALLY hate how the number eight got turned into a shades face. that was not my doing.

I will concede that point. it apparently IS possible, in fact they even managed to get them to mature in about a 1/4 of the time in the wild. i still believe it will go extinct in the wild though.
Summary
Ten females of Kaluga sturgeon (Huso dauricus; 73.8 ± 6.49 kg, total length 204.5 ± 12.8 cm) matured for the first time after a full life-cycle in captivity. Absolute gonad biomass was 8.4 ± 1.3 kg per female and relative fecundity 11.2 ± 1.6%, at maturation stage IV. These fish were induced to spawn by injection of hormone LHRH-A2 at a dosage of 10 μg kg[SUP]−1[/SUP]. Male Kaluga was injected one time at 5 μg kg[SUP]−1[/SUP] and milt was stripped 16 h after injection of LHRH-A2. Water temperature was about 16 ± 1°C during the induction period. Fertile eggs were obtained 36.8 ± 2.6 h after first injection; they were fertilized by semi-dry method. Fertilization rate was 80.7 ± 3.8%. Fertilized eggs were incubated McDonald jars (hatching rate 85.2 ± 9.8%). There was a strong correlation between body weight (x) and time (y) needed from hormone injection to obtaining fertile oocytes (y = −0.8231x + 98.838 R[SUP]2[/SUP] = 0.8428; P < 0.01). The cultured males ripened as early as at age 5 while females were 8-years old at first maturity.
