From the family of the steurachtigen, the Beluga has become the most famous because of her calf that we know as a caviar. The Beluga is the only carnivore of all kinds of sturgeon. This sturgeon is also the largest, and is most valuable compared to its peers. The beluga comes in front of the very salty coastal waters of the Caspian Sea but you can also find it in the Adriatic. Beluga sturm from the Caspian Sea becomes as long as 9 meters long, can weigh 1500 kilos and becomes easily 100 years. Beluga and swim to a depth of 180 m and comes mainly fresh and brackish water in the front. The beluga has a predominantly gray/green color with a white belly side. Characteristic is the muzzle of this fish. At the bottom of the muzzle the sturgeon has a 'snor'. These are beards that make it easier for the sturgeon to detect food. With her toothless mouth she sucks in everything that comes close to her. Her suction power is so strong that she often sucks large fish as the carp sucks in. The beluga is a devious predatory fish, and nourishes with anchovy, whiting, but ALSO SHELLFISH and SHELLFISH are on the menu. The beluga will produce eggs if they are at least 15 years of age range tin the month of May the beluga puts off its eggs. The caviar of the beluga is the most delicate hair species and is very exclusive. These exclusive eggs are silver gray to black in color. The grain size (egg) has a diameter of 2,5 to 4.5 mm. Remarkable is, the bigger the eggs, the higher the price. The color of the caviar is also highly price-determining. Beluga caviar is one of the most expensive in the world. The very sublime taste can best be described as refined and creamy.
