All species of sturgeon, due to their rapid decline in population, were listed in the International Red Book, as they are on the verge of extinction. Currently, all sturgeon catching is completely prohibited in the world, and therefore the breeding of sturgeon species of fish and the production of black caviar is carried out only on sturgeon farms. In conditions of artificial habitat for fish on farms, favorable conditions are created, close to natural, in which the fish could fully grow and multiply. One of these farms is the “Aquatir” sturgeon complex, which was opened in 2006 in the city of Tiraspol (Pridnestrovie, Moldova), and is the only complex in the world for the production of natural black caviar of Russian sturgeon and Beluga, as well as Sterlet and Bester (a hybrid Beluga from crossing with Sterlet).
The company uses the latest technologies in the field of sturgeon breeding. Fish rearing takes place in recirculation systems, which has a positive effect on the quality of fish life and the production of high-quality caviar, and also completely eliminates the impact of external factors that can affect the fish.
The huge enterprise includes fish breeding facilities, fish processing workshops and a modern, state-of-the-art laboratory of the 21st century. Production capacity – more than 50 tons of sturgeon per year and more than 5 tons of high quality black caviar per year. The range of manufactured products of the complex includes more than a hundred names of premium products.
Since 2011, the company has been registered with the international organization “CITES”.
Thanks to the highest quality of its products, since 2014 “Aquatir” has been certified according to the FSSC 22000 system, confirming the highest quality standards in the food industry.
In the complex, a very important role is given to the nutrition of fish, only natural feed from the best European manufacturers is used, and the fish are also given minced herring and sprat so that they receive food close to their natural habitat. The farm creates all favorable conditions for the fish, so that it feels in natural conditions, close to real life, as in reservoirs of natural habitat. Thanks to the conditions close to natural in wildlife, and excellent feeding, the products of the Aquatir complex are of the highest quality. The caviar, which is obtained from fish grown at this enterprise, meets all international standards and is considered one of the best in the world. This confirms that Aquatir has distributors in the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, Singapore, Spain, Germany, Indonesia and the UK (thecaviar.co.uk).
Black caviar from the company “Aquatir” is a noble product, a symbol of taste and luxury, capable of delighting the most sophisticated gourmet and satisfying the most sophisticated connoisseur of black caviar.
