Abstract On the basis of in situ analysis sturgeon condition within Lower Danube River, aim was to carry out a research that would complement results obtained from monitoring and ultrasonic tagging methods. Thus, DNA samples were taken selectively each ultrasonically tagged specimen order determine whether or not there is possibility hybridization between species Acipenser stellatus Huso huso ....

Acipenseriformes are composed of 25 sturgeon species and two paddlefish species distributed exclusively in the northern hemisphere. The Danube River and the Black Sea were originally inhabited by six sturgeon species but two are extinct and only four are still reproducing currently in the Lower Danube: Huso huso, Acipenser stellatus, A. gueldenstaedtii and A. ruthenus. Sturgeon species hybridiz...

Sturgeons (Order Acipenseriformes) represent an extremely valuable natural resource that is now facing depletion. In the current study we evaluate if the traditional classification in subspecies of Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, Acipenser stellatus and Huso huso, endemic to Ponto-Caspian region is sustained by molecular analysis and if these represent Evolutionary Significant Units (ESUs) that shou...
