Haemangioma is a benign tumor of vascular endothelial cells or their progenitors. In spring of 2016, an Acipenser baerii, (+3 years, 2.2 kg weight) was reffered to the Department of Aquatic Animal Health, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. After dissection it was found that the heart had a cobblestone appearance which was characterized by multiple dark red cysts...

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 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...

the aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the dniester population of sterlet acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. the genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from eurasian rivers (dniester, dnieper, danube, volga, kama and ob) was carried out using microsatellite dna markers. the genetic var...
