As I was creating my presentation for my senior seminar class I came across this blog for the Delware Sierra Club that told the sad story of the Atlantic Sturgeon. In this story it showed how human's doministic attitude towards trying to control the animals we live amongst without knowing their biological boundaries can become fatal to an entire species. Caviar being an extremely well sought after expensive food for the rich comes from this 150 million year old species of fish. Over the past 100 years harvestin these fish is finally become illegal as of Feb 6 but it almost took the loss of the entire species to do this. The fish take almost 20 years to become sexually mature and with the continuous building of dams these breeding grounds for these aged fish are becoming imposible to find so a population rebound may never occur but some say it will atleast take up to 100 years.
