Indiana (December 11, 2012) Conservation Officers are observing the number of Indiana commercial fishing licenses up from past fishing seasons and more fishing vessels tending to commercial gear in the hopes of capturing much sought after caviar.  After the destruction left behind from Hurricane Sandy on the east coast it has now reached as far as the Ohio River basin in Indiana. 

The caviar is known as “American Caviar” and it is derived from the North American Paddlefish (Polydon spathula) which inhabits the Ohio River and many other major rivers within the US.
