Salt-cured roe of sturgeon (family Acipenseridae). In several jurisdictions the word is legally restricted to sturgeon and paddlefish roe.
Fish eggs generally. Non-sturgeon roe (salmon, trout, whitefish, lumpfish, tobiko) is sold as a caviar substitute and kept distinct here.
A price displayed to the public by a retailer. Not a confirmation that a transaction occurred at that price.
A completed arm's-length sale with supporting evidence. The basis of the future Verified Reference.
A description of historical observed market context. Not a recommendation and not a set price.
The middle observation, and the P25–P75 interquartile range. The default market-distribution language, more robust than an average or a min/max.
The level of trade: farm-gate, export wholesale, landed, distributor, retail, hospitality. Prices across lanes are not directly comparable.
A transaction between independent parties, free of related-party or non-ordinary influence.
Adjusting for the fact that small jars and large tins trade at different EUR/kg, so comparisons are like-for-like.
