Intraspecific and interspecific nucleotide sequence variations of the mtDNA control region (D-loop) were studied with mtDNAs isolated from tissue specimens of more than 1400 sturgeons of nine species: Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii , Persian sturgeon A. persicus , Siberian sturgeon A. baerii , Amur sturgeon A. schrenkii , Fringebarbel sturgeon A. nudiventris , sterlet A. ruthenus , ...

Russian ( Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), Persian ( A. persicus) and Siberian ( A. baerii) sturgeons are closely related 'Ponto-Caspian' species. Investigation of their population structure is an important problem, the solution of which determines measures for conservation of these species. According to previous studies, 'baerii-like' mitotypes were found in the Caspian Sea among 35% of Russian stu...

This study evaluated the effects of fish farm wastewater from production hybrid sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii Brandt × Acipenser baeri Brandt) on growth and quality parameters romaine lettuce (Lactuca sativa var. longifolium cv. “Elizium”). The tested combinations were wastewater, enriched with one three microbiological consortia, supplemented minerals. best plants obtained in combination...

this study conducted to provide the status of parasite communities of four sturgeon species viz. acipenser stellatus , a. gueldenstaedtii , a. nudiventris , and huso huso in the southwest of the caspian sea and their histopathological effects on the examined fishes. for this purpose a total of 93 individuals of four sturgeon species were caught in two fisheries regions from the southwest of the...

In the cytoplasm of oocytes (ooplasm) located in ovarian follicles with diameters 2000 microm and 2150 microm in Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, and 2000 microm and 2350 microm in A. baerii, periplasm containing a basophilic compartment and endoplasm containing reserve materials was formed. Vesicles involved in polyspermy blocking and in the formation of the embryo were located in the periplasm. The...

Russian ( ), Persian ( ) and Siberian ( Acipenser gueldenstaedtii A. persicus A. ) sturgeons are closely related ‘Ponto-Caspian’ species. Investigation of baerii their population structure is an important problem, the solution of which determines measures for conservation of these species. According to previous studies, ‘baerii-like’ mitochondrial genotypes were found in the Caspian Sea among 3...
