Some human puts some species under some label. You: I'm not eating anything under this label as it must be alike! But in this case insects a lobsters are not even close in the tree of life. Maybe they indeed look alike a bit. Do you eat feces because it does look a bit like chocolate?

It’s not that far apart Lobsters and insects both belong to the invertebrate phylum Arthropoda. If you want to include both spiders which are Chelicerata and grasshoppers which are Hexapoda that’s Arthropoda.

I guess cows are basically fish then. Both Chordates after all /s

They no longer kill the fish to extract the caviar. They can now drain the caviar through a form of cesarean, basically, and release the fish back.

Do fish regrow their eggs over time or is like, once harvested they're barren for life kind of deal? And if so, do they tag them to keep track?

They regrow them, but they're prevented from reproducing that year. In massively overfished species that take a long time to mature, this seems like a problem.

Again it depends on the measuring stick. In terms of nutrition costs and fish are rather similar in comparison to say wheat.
