We assessed the business feasibility of an Australian sturgeon industry by developing a business case including a projected cost-profit model.  This assessment concluded that farming sturgeons in Australia is biologically and technically feasible and has a 10 year lifecycle to profit if developed as a mixed sturgeon-trout farm.  Caviar demand and sales are increasing but there are substantial threats to an Australian caviar industry.  There is extensive caviar production in China which is likely to continue to grow, and world caviar prices have fallen substantially since 2010, although wholesale prices in Australia have remained high and stable over the same period.

The project team was unable to develop and negotiate approaches to overcome the regulatory barriers to importing sturgeons.  Although clear pathways are identified, import consent remains a difficult goal.  Alternative arrangements were rejected as an approach by DAWE in August 2020.  For sturgeon import to Australia to occur, DAWE needs to commence and complete a Biosecurity Import Risk Assessment (BIRA), but DAWE lacks available resources to commence that assessment.  Substantial data have been collated by this project to contribute to a BIRA.  Continued effort from industry will be required if sturgeon import is going to occur, but it is also possible that the perceived benefits do not justify the work required.
