the study was performed to examine the efficacy of ginger (zingiber officinale) extract on growth performance, biochemical and hemato-immunological parameters in juvenile beluga (huso huso). fish were divided into 4 groups before fed diet for 8 weeks with 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% ginger extract and with unsupplemented commercial diet as the control. results showed that there was a significant differen...

Background: The Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPSA1) is the key transcriptional regulator of hypoxic response and Vascular Permeability Factor (VPF) is an important growth factor for vascular development and angiogenesis. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, the levels of the EPSA1 coding gene and VPF transcripts were evaluated during Larval development of Beluga, Huso huso. METHODS...

 Co-feeding of fish larvae with live food and formulated diet has been at the focus of fish nutritionists since last decade. In this study we tried to refine the feeding practices of great beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) larvae using different combinations of newly hatched Artemia urmiana nauplii and trout starter diet. Three replicate groups (250 fish/replicate) of first-feeding Huso huso larvae w...

the aim of the present study was determination of reference values of blood serum enzymes of huso huso. descriptive study. 18 male and 18 female huso huso was studied. blood samples were obtained from caudal vein of 18 males and 18 females and the levels of enzymes were measured by an autoanalyzer. parametric t- test and pearson correlation test. results of measurements for total samples are as...

The late sexual maturity in sturgeon and the absence of morphological differences between males and females makes sex discrimination difficult. Identification of sex at an early life stage is of high interest in caviar production because it allows efficient selection of females. In this study, the genome of 10 mature male and 10 mature female specimens of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus...

Aim The restoration of the extinct Adriatic population Beluga sturgeon, an iconic species with economic and traditional relevance, is a priority in upcoming conservation strategies but it must not occur without deep prior knowledge on current diversity distribution. We defined informed criteria for reintroduction Italian rivers by analysing its contemporary ancient based multi-markers approach....
