dna pcr amplification for species diagnosis of caviar from caspian sea sturgeon

Cross-species amplification of Clupeidae microsatellite DNA markers in common kilka, Clupeonella cultriventris from the Caspian Sea

Common kilka Clupeonella cultriventris (Nordmann, 1840) is a brackish water and small pelagic fish species and is one of the most abundant fishes that live gregariously in the Caspian Sea. A total of 60 specimens of adult common kilka were sampled from two seasons. Fifteen pairs of microsatellites previously developed for A.sapidissima, C. pallasi, C.harengus, and S. pilchardus were tested for ...

Development of disomic single-locus DNA microsatellite markers for Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) from the Caspian Sea

Understanding the scale at which wild stocks of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) are genetically discrete is necessary for effective management of this commercially important species. Disomic DNA microsatellite markers are among the best tools for determining stock structure in fishes. As all sturgeon species have a polyploid ancestry of all sturgeons, most gene loci exhibit more than two ...

Sturgeon Species and Hybrids: Can Hybrids Produce Caviar?

assessment of essential elements in the wild beluga sturgeon (huso huso) caviar from caspian sea

in this study, the concentration of calcium (ca), cobalt (co), chromium (cr), copper (cu), iron (fe), potassium (k), magnesium (mg), manganese (mn), selenium (se) and zinc (zn) as essential metals, were determined in caviar of wild beluga sturgeon caught from the caspian sea in march 2012. potassium (4885.51± 17.81 µg g -1 ) and magnesium (346.61± 6.6 µg g -1 ) had the highest concentration and...

Isolation and characterization of microsatellite loci in the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus, Borodine, 1897) and cross-species amplification in four commercial sturgeons from the Caspian Sea

 In order to have a sustainable management on Persian sturgeon as a highly commercial species in the South Caspian Sea, we need to identify its population structure and the level as well as its conservation status in their natural habitat. To develop a conservation program for this all Caspian Sea' sturgeon species it requires knowledge of its genetic diversity using reliable molecular marker t...
