Produzione sostenibile di caviale mediante la reintroduzione dell'Acipenser sturio nel Parco Regionale Fluviale di Montemarcello Magra

Development of a project to reintroduce Acipenser sturio L. 1758 into the Regional Fluvial Park of Montemarcello-Magra, aimed at the propagation and protection of the species, will provide an opportunity to create a sustainable production of caviar. The project will be implemented over a ten year period and will consist of two main parallel objectives: reintroduction of the European sturgeon by an optimization of artificial reproduction; sustainable management of a caviar and filleted sturgeon breeding farm. The project will therefore provide an opportunity to re-launch the activity of freshwater fish breeding locally, and to create a high-quality end-product, through acquisition of a Certificate of Origin and Quality closely tied to its association with the natural fluvial park, providing employment both directly and indirectly to the local population
