Traditionally, the term caviar refers only to roe from wild sturgeon in the Caspian Sea and Black Sea [2] (beluga, ossetra and sevruga caviars). The term caviar can also describe the roe of other species of sturgeon or other fish such as paddlefish, salmon, steelhead, trout, lumpfish, whitefish, [3] or carp. [4]
