Sturgeon (family Acipenseridae) are regarded as living fossils due to their ancient origin and exceptionally slow evolution. To extend our knowledge of fish cardiac excitability to a Chondrostei fish, we examined electrophysiological phenotype of the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) heart with recordings of epicardial ECG, intracellular action potentials (APs), and sarcolemmal ion currents....

the sterlet (acipenser ruthenus) is one of the species of the exotic sturgeon (acipenseridae) family in iran. this important species produces caviar every year at the lowest cost and in the shortest time. the objective of this research was to assess the effect of digestarom, as a nutritional supplement, on the growth indices and safety factors of synthetically-cultured baby sterlets (acipenser ...

fecundity is one of the important indicators of reproduction biology in fishes especially in rearing and restocking management of endangered species such as sturgeon. the fecundity of stellate sturgeon (acipenser stellatus pallas, 1771) was studied in 50 specimens captured by gill net (mesh size= 100 mm) and seine net in different fishing areas along the southeastern part of the caspian sea fro...

sturgeons are the most important fish in the caspian sea, but there are only a few reports on their parasite communities in the southern part of this sea. in this study, a total of 93 individuals of four sturgeon species, namely acipenser stellatus (n= 60), a.gueldenstaedtii (n = 12), a. nudiventris (n = 9) and huso huso (n = 12), were caught in 2 geographical regions from the southwest of the ...

Palíková M., J. Mare‰ , J. J i rásek : Characteristics of Leukocytes and Thrombocytes of Selected Sturgeon Species from Intensive Breeding. Acta Vet. Brno, 1999, 68: 259–264. Analysis of leukocyte and thrombocyte characteristics in Acipenser baerii, Acipenser stellatus and Huso huso sturgeons at the age of about 200 days kept under intensive breeding conditions is presented. The differential le...
