What do they do with the sturgeon once the roe is harvested? Is it processed and sold for meat?

Looked like he stitched it up and put it back.

[@Shuggies]

They keep getting roe from it until it's too old to make roe anymore. Much like puppy farming... they find the fish belly up and then they chunk it away... and the cuts they make to harvest the clutch of roe is MUCH bigger.. they didn't show that part... they fut the poor fish. Or sometimes they are milked before the fish is ready which is Exccruating process... its a HORRIFIC life for the fish sadly.

[@chrisshimizu308]

@@Shuggies why would you lie? it's clear the fish is dead when they remove the roe-he said they keep it in a pure water tank for a week to rid it of its impurities so they can sell the meat of the fish. the only times they are taken out before then is to do a biopsy to check if the eggs are ready-larger cuts would affect the fish too much and potentially cause it to die early, which would make the whole process useless. the fish from the beginning that he said he's kept for breeding for 25 years doesn't have her eggs removed. she is used only to produce more offspring, so they wouldn't perform any surgery on her to remove her eggs, she'll expell them naturally. i understand being upset that the fish's life is dependent on their function to humans, but he is a researcher first, and keeping up decades-long research takes a lot of money.

[@Jehraldeen]

Pretty sure the fish will be used for meat. The incision is jagged, doesn’t look like it’s meant to be sewn back up. And the fish was hanging upside down in a storage locker before it was taken out to be harvested, so it was already dead before that.
