Business trip report, Iceland, Kašpar et al.

On 8-15.2.2025 a business trip was made to the sturgeon farm of The Northern Sturgeon Company Limited (Hið Norðlenzka Styrjufjelag ehf.), Iceland. The participants were Ing. Vojtěch Kašpar, Ph.D., Ing. Martin Hubálek, Ph.D. and Ing. Pavel Švejda, supplemented by Daniel Dvořák and Filip Medal, as a pair of selected students of the bachelor's study of the FFPW USB. 

The final preparation and artificial spawning of Russian sturgeon (A. gueldenstaedtii), Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii) and white sturgeon (A. transmontanus), was carried out on site, in order to produce caviar from ovulated eggs, i.e. without the need to kill the fish. Our students were excited about the trip and gained a lot of new experience.
