I think he's only using the stripping method for the Beluga but not the Ostera or Sveruga. Makes sense though, Beluga takes a long time to mature compared to the latter. LStripping eggs in that manner can yield damaged ones, but in return he can keep having the fish produce more and doesn't need to wait another 10+ years for beluga eggs.
