Sturgeon is a cold-water fish farmed in Vietnam's highlands such as Lam Dong, Lao Cai and Son La. Its firm, low-bone flesh suits restaurants and processing. Andwind supplies farmed sturgeon live, whole cleaned or as frozen fillets.

Sturgeon exports require a CITES permit
All Acipenseriformes species not in Appendix I were listed in CITES Appendix II, effective 1 April 1998, following the decision at the 10th Conference of the Parties (CoP10, Harare, 1997). Sturgeon, including farmed fish, therefore needs a CITES export permit issued by the CITES Management Authority of Vietnam.
Vietnamese legal basis: Decree No. 06/2019/ND-CP dated 22 January 2019 on the management of endangered, precious and rare forest fauna and flora and implementation of CITES, as amended by Decree No. 84/2021/ND-CP (effective 30 November 2021).
