STURGEON AND CAVIAR,
By Frederic J. Haskin.
The United States fish commission
is much disturbed over the enormous
decrease in the sturgeon products of
this country. From being one of the
most plentiful varieties of fish, stur
geon has become the least numerous,
and its total extinction seems threat
ened. Various experiments with
sturgeon culture have been under
taken in different parts of the coun
try under the auspices of the national
or state fish commissions or by pri
vate parties. None of them as yet
has given hopeful results.
Some idea of the decrease of the
sturgeon can be had from the records
of the Delaware river, once one of the
most important sturgeon grounds of
this country. In 1890 the catch there
amounted to 5,032,175 pounds, valued
at $119.610. By 1900 it had so di
minished that the reports give a
catch of only 357,967 pounds, valued
at less than (20,000. Since then the
decrease has been so great that now
no sturgeon worthy of record are to
be found in the Delaware river. The
entire sturgeon industry in that lo
cality has been abandoned, excepting
for the efforts of sturgeon culture
now in progress.
*
* *
The decrease has been almost as
great in other parts of the country.
Originally
Sturgeon Originally sturgeon was
widely dis
Widely Distributed, tributed. being
found along the Atlantic coast, in the
Inland rivers and lakes and practically
in every state excepting those on the
Gulf of Mexico. It is now scarce in
every place. Last year the fish com
mission established an experimental
field for the purpose of finding out
whether hatching sturgeon in the Lake
of the Woods, or its tributaries, wouitt
be feasible. About a million and a
half eggs were installed near the
mouth of the Rainy river. A pound
was prepared in connection with the
hatchery. Seven large sturgeons
caught in nets were retained in this
pound for some time, during which
they were carefully examined. No
tangible results were obtained, how
ever. The investigations are now be
ing extended into Canadian waters,
with the co-operation of the Canadian
government. ,, ?
For a number of years consideration
has been given to importing sturgeon
from Europe for the purposes of breed
ing an additional supply in this country.
Horace D. Knowles of Wilmington, I>el.,
recently United States minister to Bo
livia, has for years been Interested in
the restoration of sturgeon to American
waters. He represented this govern
ment in Roumania severaiyears be
fore. In 1009 he returned with an offer
from the Roumanian government to
present to the United States all the
sturgeon eggs and fry needed to restock
the streams of this country. A11that
was necessary was for the United btates
to transport them to this country and
see that they were propagated. The oner
was made to Secretary Knox, but no
steps were taken toward an immediate
acceptance of it.
*
* *
Since Mr. Knowles' return from Bolivia
he has again taken the matter up. He
ascertained that

Hugh M. Smith, who is strongly in favor
of the project, eo arrangements are likely
to be made in the near future for obtain
ing the fl?h. It is stated that, in

That Made Milwaukee Famous
with Roumanian sturgeon will be located
on the Delaware river.
The fish commissioners are not cer
tain, however, that bringing sturgeon
eggs from Roumania will result in re
stocking the American waters. For a
number of years indications have pointed
to the fact that the decrease in Ameri
can sturgeon is at least partially because
the epgs do not hatch. This fact is not
explained, but is the subject of close
study in several experiment stations.
It was during the eighties that the
sturgeon industry reached its greatest
height along the Delaware river. At that
time sturgeon were not appreciated as
food, so the fishermen slaughtered them
because they destroyed the light nets used
for catching shad and other fish. Then
came the demand for caviar, which is
made from sturgeon roe. This brought as
much as $7 a pound, so that the fisher
men hunted roe sturgeon the year around.
There was no law to protect the fish and
this greed of the fishermen led to a de
crease. The caviar production in this
country reached $7,000,000 in 1888. It
dropped to $3,000,000 in the early nineties,
and now is hardly worthy of considera
tion. Caviar has always been the most
costly food product sold in the United
States. A single sturgeon has been known
to yield as much as $70 worth of eggs
in addition to the value of the meat.
*
* *
Tlw^process of making caviar is simple
and requires little machinery. The eggs
taken from the

^ sieve to remove all
the membrane. A recipe recorded in the
United States patent office in 1861 for
making caviar directed that the eggs
should be packed in salt until they rise
in the brine. They are then spread out
in sheets an inch thick to dry. After
wards these sheets are broken up finely
and mixed with oil taken from the liver
of a male sturgeon. This oil restores the
flavor taken out in the brine.
Fresh caviar is sold but little in the
United States, although it is in high
favor in Russia. It consists of sturgeon
eggs mixed with salt and served within
two or three hours after they have been
taken from the fish. Fresh caviar is so
popular in Russia that live sturgeons are
transported to Moscow in order that the
eggs may be taken just before they are
to be eaten. Most of the caviar now
eaten in this country Is imported from
Russia, although epicures claim that the
American product is vastly superior. Re
cent consular reports state that the caviar
manufacturers in Europe are much exer
cised over the pure food laws which have
lately gone into effect in this country.
These laws forbid the use of boracic acid,
a preservative much used in preparing
caviar for export. The methods of mak
ing Russian caviar are most insanitary,
especially in the smaller towns. The
caviar put up in the United States in
clean, well operated factories would be
considered much more desirable by any
one witnessing the process in the two
countries.

Sturgeon used to be regarded as the
king of food fish. A fisherman who took
a s t u r g eon
Used to Be Begarded from the
. Thames river
as King of Food Fish. was required
by law to send it immediately to the
royal household. The wealth of sturgeon
found in the American colonies was at
one time the pride of England, and stur
geon meat formed one of the principal
exports of the early colonists. In ItiSO
the English court granted to Thomas
Rogers of Massachusetts a license "to
make sturgeon provided that he shull
present to the court a howl of good stur
geon every Michaelmas court." The stur
geon which Rogers was licensed to
"make'* was in all probability a pickled
product, because pickled sturgeon has
long been a favorite New England dish.
It Is made by cutting the meat Into
strips of suitable size, salting: them for
several days and then boiling them in
weak vinegar with a quantity of spleen.
This preparation was packed In wooden
kegs. The recipes for pickling sturgeon
were well guarded in old families. In
1783 William Thomas petitioned the Bos
ton court for protection in the business
of pickling sturgeon.
Most of the sturgeon sold in the United
States is smoked, although a certain
amount, especially from the north Pa
cilic coast, is preserved by cold storage.
Smoked sturgeon is in greatest demand
among the German residents of large
cities. The business of smoking stur
geon was begun In 1857 in New York.
For years a million pounds or more of
smoked sturgeon were produced annually
in this country. Sturgeon smoking along
the great lakes began in 18tw, and is still
carried on to some extent notwithstand
ing the present scarcity of sturgeon.
Smoked sturgeon must not be kept in
cold storage because of its tendency to
mold.
The scarcity of sturgeon in tills country
has led to the substitution of other lish
eggs in manufacturing caviar. The
spoonbill cattish, also known as the pad
dle fish, ht-longs to the sturgeon family.
It is plentiful in some parts of the Mis
sissippi river. Within the last five years
an important industry has sprung up in
the manufacture of caviar from paddle
fish roe. This caviar has won several of
