Collection search - Un pêcheur du lac Nipissing tient un esturgeon utilisé pour le caviar

Titre fondé sur la légende suivante tirée du photoreportage de l'ONF: Lake Nipissing's fishermen are reaping a rich reward from the rubbery-looking sturgeon. Though Nipissing's piscatorial product finds little favour on the domestic market, Canadian sturgeon fetches sirloin steak prices in New York. And the fish is only a by-product. As caviar, the fragile sturgeon eggs are worth five dollars a pound to fishermen, and rival even the Russian product as choice of North American gourmets. Here, a lake fisherman holds a sturgeon which will be cleaned, weighed and crated for shipment to appreciative North American market.
