The effects of vitrification on the embryo viability of the Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) were investigated in this study. Vitrificant solutions (VS1-VS6) were prepared by combining propylene glycol (PG) as basic cryoprotectant plus other permeable and non-permeable cryoprotectants in different concentration. Embryos at neurulation stage were selected and incubated in six vitrificant so...

effects of sodium salt solutions on physicochemical and sensory characteristics of refrigerated persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) fillets during 12 days of storage were investigated. fillets were dipped in solutions (2.5% w/v) of sodium acetate (sa), sodium lactate (sl), sodium citrate (sc) and distilled water (as control) for 10 minutes and then packaged. an assessment of tbars, ffa, ph, h...

Objective- Acipenser persicus is one of the most important caviar producing fishes in the Caspian Sea and one of the endangered species of the sturgeon fishes. For breeding of sturgeons, large numbers of animals have to be captured and examined to obtain sufficient numbers of mature fishes that will spawn within a few months in captivity. Design- Original study Animals- A total of 66 adult Acip...

The characterization of demographic features in natural populations is important to understand recruitment dynamics, mating systems, and propensities for loss genetic diversity. accurate identification sex can be difficult sexually monomorphic species. We present a melt curve analysis based on qPCR assays lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) validation using the AllWSex2 marker adult males fema...

persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus is a native, commercially important and highly steemed fish species in the caspian sea. in this study, effects of nodularin (nodln), a cyclic pentapeptide hepatotoxin, on liver and gill tissues of a. persicus were studied. nodularin was produced in high amounts by nodularia spumigena, a cyanobacterium species during the algal bloom in the caspian sea and was...
