Best Answer

Trout roe is extracted by vigorously massaging it out of the fish, male or female.

It depends on the fish. Salmon roe usually requires the sacrifice of the salmon, since most salmon will die anyway after spawning. Sturgeon roe, from which we get caviar, requires the fish to be opened, more or less surgically. Depending on the fishery, those sturgeon may find their way into a fish market, or they may be stitched up and allowed to live on, producing more roe in the future.
