    Eating the eggs of the sturgeon or salmon roe means they will not develop into mature fish so yes it is killing them.

    Why would you not know this?

    They squirt eggs out.  That's how fish lay eggs.

    They don't need to die.

    Really Sharon? Read what m2c wrote. You and she disagree. I wonder why? Thank you for your reply. Now I get to choose whom to believe. You or m2c? I will Google it.

    They do kill the fish. They slice it open and remove the eggs. They also sell the fish for meat. 

    There is a no-kill method of harvesting the eggs but it is not used much.
