the persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus (borodin, 1897), is an economically important species, which mainly inhabits the caspian sea. however, little is known about its population genetic structure. in this study, variation in nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial dna (mtdna) control region of wild stock persian sturgeon was determined to assess the genetic diversity among different natura...

the effect of starvation and re-feeding was investigated on growth, hematology and biochemical parameters in juvenile persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus). three hundred and seventyfive fish (108±0.63 g) were divided into five feeding groups. the control group (c) was fed to satiation three times a day during the experiment. the four groups were starved for 1 (w1), 2 (w2), 3 (w3), and 4 (w4) w...

There are many efforts for identification of natural compounds from dietary or medicinal plants. Young roots and aerial parts of A. persicus have been used as food additive or salad vegetable in some parts of Iran. In this study, different fractions of the root extract of A. persicus were subjected for isolation and purification of secondary metabolites. The methanol extract of the roots was fr...
