The German armed forces employed three different types of teleprinter cipher machines during the Second World War, the Lorenz machines SZ40 and SZ42 also called Tunny by Bletchley Park (BP), the Siemens Schlüsselfernschreibmaschine (SFM) T52, and the one-time-tape machine T43, also manufactured by Siemens. The Lorenz machines, which existed in three different models, SZ40, SZ42a, and SZ42b, are...

 The Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) is considered as an endemic sturgeon of the south part of the Caspian Sea and provides the highest Iranian caviar production. Due to overfishing, degradation of the rivers conditions of the natural reproductive habitats, the fish stocks is decreasing. The immature breeders do not response to hormonal therapy at the sturgeon hatcheries as most ha...

The effects of thermoregulatory behaviours on gut blood flow in white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus before and after feeding was studied using a blood flow biotelemetry system in combination with a temperature preference chamber. This is the first study to look at cardiovascular responses to feeding in white sturgeon, and also the first time behavioural tests in fish have been combined with ...

In Poland the conservation program of Atlantic sturgeon Acipenser oxyrinchus is conducted during over 10 years by Inland Fisheries Institute in Olsztyn, Poland. Material of A. oxyrinchus is annually transported from Canada to Poland and the broodstock of this species is created. Part of imported fish material is breed and released into local rivers e.g. Drweca River, Vistula River. All the impo...

this study compared the effects of different levels of dietary fat on growth performance, liver enzymes and blood biochemical of juvenile siberian sturgeon (acipenser bearii) was designed for 12 weeks. for this reason 135 fish (15.6 ± 0.33g; mean ± sd) at nine 500 liter fiberglass tanks, each one containing 15 fish. three experimental diets with the same protein (42 %) and 3 fat levels 10, 15 a...

Worldwide, populations of sturgeons are endangered, and it is hypothesized that anthropogenic chemicals, including dioxin-like compounds (DLCs), might be contributing to the observed declines in populations. DLCs elicit their toxic action through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), which is believed to regulate most, if not all, adverse effects associated with exposure to these c...

sturgeons in the caspian sea due to its unique characteristics in terms of economic and social in caspian countries have a high economic value at the national and even international levels. persian sturgeon (acipenser persicus) is considered one of the most valuable caspian sea fishes in terms of restocking, caviar and meat production. nowadays, the possibility of persian sturgeon proliferation...

   Stability of bacterial flora in fish intestine is very important, because the intestine is an important organ for outbreak of microbial infections and other fish diseases especially when the fish have not been vaccinated. The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial flora of intestine in sturgeon juvenile in earthen ponds. The results can be applied to prevent the diseases occurren...
