....or if you can strip it of it gametes, for the benefit of the doubt say eggs, when it is mature, then SOMEHOW find a mature male and strip it of sperm/milt (legally of course ;-) ). That is...IF you can raise it captivity to the ripe old age sturgeon get before they are sexually mature...and how many people have the patience to wait a decade or two with fish :-) So yeah...zero %

I do think that this specific issue brought up hits on quite a few other issues that we, the many different aspects of NANFAns and aquarium enthusiasts in general currently and will have to deal with when keeping, collecting, acquiring, etc. fish. So I'm curiously watching as this plays out across the list, while I really should be focusing on work.
