Paddlefish are often commercially harvested in other states for their eggs which are sold as caviar. In Ohio they are protected as a threatened species and must be released if captured. They are one of Ohio's most unique fish with their long paddle-shaped snout, and a skeleton made completely of cartilage. There is no other North American fish species that resembles them!
