Dedicated to the Research and Repopulation of Beluga Sturgeons
In 2015, Ukraine International Aquatics Research was founded in Odesa to be a driving force in preserving endangered sturgeon species for future generations. The first research-and-hatchery facility we had for our work was built in Kherson.
Our Sustainable Beluga Fish Hatchery Operations
Ukraine International Aquatics Research aims to help rebuild the beluga sturgeon population in the wild through responsible research and conservation efforts. We work with great respect for the natural resources throughout the entire process.
Humane Harvesting
Our hatchery is a conducive environment for beluga sturgeons from the Black Sea. During the harvest process, we uphold a “no-kill” approach to collecting their fish eggs so we do not harm or stress them.
Responsible Egg Processing
Any unfertilized roes will be separated from the fertilized ones and processed into high-quality beluga caviar. This all-natural aquacultural product is then marketed at the most reasonable price without a middleman and delivered directly to the customer.
Raising and Releasing
We raise a kilogram worth of fertilized Beluga eggs from each fish. After half a year, we release the now-grown sturgeons into the sea to improve their odds of survival in the wild.
The Positive Effects of Our Work
Our fish farming efforts provide increased food resources for the local community. This is because our work helps repopulate Black Sea beluga sturgeons, which citizens can catch, eat, and sell.
All-natural beluga caviar, a highly sought-after delicacy, is also produced through our aquacultural and conservation efforts. As we sell these products, we attract better commerce opportunities and increase revenue generation for the area.
