Caviar industry feeds prosperity for central Chinese city
61In the central Chinese city of Yichang, the caviar industry is a pillar of the local economy.
Known as black gold, the salt-cured eggs of sturgeon fish are a popular delicacy, prized for their smooth texture and rich, buttery flavor.
At the world’s largest indoor sturgeon breeding base, male fish are sold to restaurants and females are raised for their roe.
The general manager of the base said harvesting the eggs is a delicate process.
China is the world’s top caviar producer, with this region in particular accounting for more than 100 tons of caviar annually, which is about 30 percent of the global market.
In addition to sturgeon meat and caviar, local businesses are also using the fish’s skin and extract to produce everything from bags to skin care products.
