PREPARING IRANIAN CAVIAR FOR SALE
Caviar, freshly removed from the belly of a sturgeon caught in the Caspian Sea, is seen before it is packaged and ready for refrigeration at Pishghadam organization near Zibakenar in Gilan province 225 miles (365km) northwest of Tehran on November 1, 2006. A recent U.N. decision bans the export of caviar from the Caspian Sea for all countries except Iran because the stocks of sturgeon in the Caspian have dropped an estimated 90 percent due to over fishing.
