Abstract Sturgeon populations are declining worldwide and the target of extensive conservation efforts. Addressed in several pieces legislation, sturgeons have received considerable attention as flagship or umbrella species. Despite need for a better understanding distribution population status, use traditional sampling methods failed past, thereby hampering reliable assessments, prerequisite c...

Farming sturgeons is an economically important practice in a number of Asian and European countries. However, since it is not widely implementedin Turkey, fertilized eggs necessary for research and industrial activities are imported from Germany. Due to the interest of several fish farms in culturing sturgeon in Turkey and the lack of relevant data, this study investigated bacteria related heal...

For full use of the by-products during Siberian sturgeon ( Acipenser baerii ) processing, gelatin was extracted from cartilages using hot water method, and its physico-chemical properties protective function on ultraviolet-A injured human skin fibroblasts (HFSBs) were measured. Using single-factor orthogonal experiments, conditions for extracting cartilage optimized as extraction time 7 h, pH 9...

The present study aims at investigating muscle development and stress response in early stages of Siberian sturgeon when subjected to different rearing temperatures, by analysing growth and development of the muscle and by assessing the stress response of yolk-sac larvae. Siberian sturgeon larvae were reared at 16°C, 19°C and 22°C until the yolk-sac was completely absorbed. Sampling timepoints ...
