abstract

the ontogeny of the gill structure in starlet ( acipenser ruthenus ) was studied histologically from hatching up to 50 days post hatching (dph). based on the obtained results, the first developmental phase of the biological systems in this species was started from hatching with an intense organogenesis and the second phase from 9 dph with the beginning of exogenous feeding. the gill anlage was visible in the pharyngeal region at 1 dph. the mouth and gill slits opened at 2 dph along with the formation of four pairs of the primordial gill arches. at 3 dph, the primordial gill filaments formed. the development of the primordial lamellae and pseudobranch were observed at 8 dph. the primordial gill filaments of the pseudobranch were appeared at 9 dph. the chloride cells appeared at 8 dph on the base of the gill filaments. the gill structure of the sterlet larvae at 31 dph was similar to that of the adults. the results of this study provided a proper indicator for aquaculture practice of starlet.

Liver, gills, and skin histopathology and heavy metal content of the Danube sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758).

The sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus L.) is a bottom-feeding fish species with a direct exposure to contaminants from water and sediments. Although heavy metal pollution is believed to be one of the main threats to the sterlet population in the Danube River basin, there is a lack of knowledge of the exact impact of heavy metals on their survival. In the present study, effects of heavy metal pollutio...

Identification of metallothionein gene structure in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)

Aquatic organisms present, not only simple sources of accumulated metal, but can interact with metals, altering their toxicity. Due to exposition of biosphere with metals, organisms have developed various defense mechanisms to protect themselves against adverse effects of these ions and their compounds. Metallothionein (MT) is one of that which represents a critical mechanism for detoxification...

Identification of bester hybrids (female Huso huso Linnaeus, 1758 and male sterlet Acipenser ruthenus Linnaeus, 1758) using AFLP molecular technique

  In this study Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) was applied to species identification of bester hybrids. Hybrids identification was performed by comparison of electrophoresis profiles with parental species. The simultaneous occurrence of diagnostic bands fixed in the parental species, genetic distance and identification and cluster analyses (UPGMA) allow a correct identification. ...

Efficient Gene Transfer and Gene Editing in Sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)

The sturgeon (Acipenseriformes) is an important farmed species because of its economical value. However, neither gene transfer nor gene editing techniques have been established in sturgeon for molecular breeding and gene functional study until now. In this study, we accomplished gene transfer and gene editing in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus), which has the shortest sexual maturation period of st...
