The article reports that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, a part of the United Nations, stopped virtually all legal export of beluga, osetra and sevruga caviar from the Caspian Sea in Russia and Iran. The roe, fish eggs, are harvested from the bellies of wild sturgeon, which have to be killed. As a result, stocks have been greatly reduced.
