That's part of the problem. But an even bigger problem (probably) is that
the juvenile fish may not be able to grow to reproductive maturity as the
result of a damaged ecology. I don't know the whole story on this, probably
no one does. But the Caspian is a seriously altered body of water because of
human activities, and its tributary rivers are in even worse shape.
