CITES Bans Black Caviar
Exports from Russia |
|
The Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) did not ratify the 2006
export quota for black caviar from Russia due to the failure of the Russian
government to provide sufficient information about the critical stocks of
sturgeon in the Caspian Sea and an enforcement plan to prevent poaching and
over-fishing. Along with Russia, three other Caspian nations - Azerbaijan,
Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan - have not been granted an export quota. As a
consequence, Iran has become a monopoly in caviar trade and production in
2006. |
