The article discusses the potential of using fatty acid barcoding in addressing the declining number of sturgeon as demand for caviar rises. One feasible idea being considered is feeding fish with an indicator that can be absorbed by the growing egg and later be identified in the caviar. A research group from Germany explored the use of feed additives to label caviar and were able to demonstrate that capric acid, a form of fatty acid, sprayed on sturgeon feed pellets will accumulate if fed to the fish for ten days or more and is safe for human consumption. INSET: Sturgeon (Acipenseridae) -- a living fossil.
