Adopt a sturgeon
June 30, 2009
A few months back I posted an article about the sturgeon breeding programm at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Lab. Now I found this website, where anybody is invited to contribute with his/her ‘pocket money’ and therefor help to assure the continuation of this important repopulation programm.
It’s another interesting strategy for fundraising. In my humble opinion maybe better then sacrificing their females by harvesting their roe and selling the caviar on the market to generate some incoming money (like the Mote Marine Lab).
Congrats, Dr. Lazur & Team!
Looking into the Caspian Sea
June 29, 2009
The reasons why sturgeons are heading into their extinction are clear and well known. Today it’s a common sense, that due to overfishing and poaching, these fossils became hunted in a perverse way. But even more than these direct hostile actions against the sturgeons, the indirect collateral damages due to the expansion of ‘civilization’ delivers the killing stroke for these 250Mio years old creatures. The cities drainage pipes destroy spawning grounds and the hidroelectric power plants and dams block the sturgeons gateway to evolution (spawning upstream).
The waste, polluting the Caspian Sea include increasingly many high toxic metals, such as Arsenic (mostly Iranian and Azerbaijan coastal region), Mercury (region near Baku) and Copper (Iranian and Azerbaijan coastal region). See more on the image below.
Anyone who finds interest in getting a closer look into the Caspian Sea, I recommend the website from the Caspian Environment Programm for a deeper understanding.
And anyone who arrived by now in the 3rd millenium – thinking about sustainability and the protection of our natural ressources, without having to sacrifice quality and premium indulgences – checks in at zwyercaviar.com

Green Pink Caviar
June 26, 2009
The artist Marilyn Minter created a pretty erotic video. Its – besides caviars erotic sidenote - very far away from anything related to caviar, actually. But the given title of this video (Green Pink Caviar) must be enough reason to post this under the clown fish category…
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Madonna decided recently to include this 9min. video into her current Sweet & Sticky tour. It will appear during the opening song ‘Candy Shop’. Source

Breaking new ground
June 24, 2009
It has been a while since passing on some jucy news and gossips about the worlds first ultra-premium caviar brand: ZwyerCaviar. But that doesn’t necessarily point to idle running. Au contraire. During this silcence ZwyerCaviar LLC was working with full force behind some new projects. Our line of products is about to become bigger. This new arrival will be introduced imminently and will most definitely stirr up the realm of caviar. And ZwyerCaviar will prove again that it masters the art of breaking new ground. We expect some spasmic behavior…
Most of it still has a hush-hush tag on it. But it will soon be revealed! Here, at Caviarist.com.

Worlds most expensive (caviar) curry!
June 2, 2009
A London curry house has celebrated the DVD launch of Slumdog Millionaire by creating a curry that costs more than $4’000 a plate.
Bombay Brasserie is defying the credit crunch with the release of its Samundari Khazana, or Seafood Treasure – a mix of caviar, abalone and a whole lobster.
More than $2000 worth of edible gold pressed onto the skin of cherry tomatoes and scattered throughout the meal helps keep the bill at a premium.
“There are still people out there with money to spend and this curry is a real experience,” head chef Prahlad Hegde told The Sun.
The Sun watched as one cook coated a $170 Scottish lobster with gold while another hollowed out quail’s eggs in order to refill them with $800 worth of caviar.
“The idea is from a basic Indian recipe I got from my mum but we are using the finest ingredients in the world,” Mr Hegde said.
