About Mashallberg Farm

TODAY'S CAVIARno more wild caught Caspian sturgeon species are critically endangered in the wild. Due to over-fishing, virtually all caviar from Caspian Sea sturgeon species is currentlyfarmed. More than80%of caviar sold in the US is imported from Chinese farms. Unlike China, the U. S. enforces strict food, safety and environmental regulations. Unlike imports, U. S. aquaculture farms can not usehormones,antibioticsorborax. Our fish are fed a high quality diet designed for sturgeon speciesacipenser gueldenstaedtii, made in the USA. Our processing facilities are HACCP-approved by the FDA and USDA. OUR FACILITIESpioneers of r. A. S. Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) are the newest way to raise fish without negatively impacting the environment. More like a multi-million dollar water treatment plant than a fish farm, our RAS facilities provide the highest filtration possible in modern aquaculture. Although this is the most expensive way to raise fish, it is also the most responsible. Over 80% of caviar consumed in the US is imported from farms that would not pass US environmental regulations. Caviar from an RAS facility is considered the best option for both sustainability and purity. More about our facilities > STURGEON & AQUACULTUREhatch to harvest Today, Osetra caviar is produced exclusively though aquaculture. In addition to being the primary source of caviar today, aquaculture of sturgeon is presently considered the most important component of wild sturgeon conservation programs. By providing a superior supply of sustainable meat and caviar, we positively impact endangered wild sturgeon. CRITICALLY ENDANGEREDcrisis in the caspian Prehistoric survivors of the ice age, sturgeon are among the largest freshwater fishes in the world, with some individuals exceeding 2,000 pounds. Sturgeons grow slowly and mature late, making them particularly vulnerable to man-made pressures, including overfishing, poaching, habitat loss and pollution. The Caspian Sea and its rivers are highly polluted from the oil industry and once abundant spawning grounds for sturgeon have been ruined by dams. The few remaining Osetra Sturgeonare being caught illegally. Populations of valuable caviar-producing species have dropped to as low as 5% of historical levels worldwide. This is particularly evident in the Caspian Sea region, which has traditionally been the source of most of the world’s caviar. In fact, as of 2013, all species of sturgeon native to that region, as well as several from other continents including North America are currently listed as endangered or critically endangered. Did you know Sturgeons are the most endangered species group on earth? In addition to being the primary source of caviar today,sustainable aquacultureof sturgeon is presently considered the most important component of wild sturgeon conservation programs. Early conservation efforts of sturgeon include the establishment of hatchery operations along the Volga River by the USSR in the early 1950s. Modern day sturgeon aquaculture traces its roots to the efforts of those Soviet biologists. Marshallberg Farm is a family operated sturgeon farm, started in 2010. With over 80% of caviar distributed in the USA being imported from Chinese farms, Marshallberg Farm aims to break the mould and sustainably produce Osetra caviar right here in the USA.
