Microalgae from Biorefinery as Potential Protein Source for Siberian Sturgeon (A. baerii) Aquafeed

Endoscopy as a new method for sex determination in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii)

Determination of sex and gonadal development of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) by using endoscopy as a new and less aggressive method for sturgeon conservation is the aim of this study. the gonadal development status of 23 Siberian sturgeons (7 years) by using endoscopy and histology for confirmation investigated in Shahid Dr. Beheshti Sturgeon Fish Propagation and Rearing Complex, locate...

Electrical excitability of the heart in a Chondrostei fish, the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii).

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....

Electrical excitability of the heart in a Chondrostei fish , the Siberian 10 sturgeon ( Acipenser baerii )

Testing taxonomic boundaries and the limit of DNA barcoding in the Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii.

DNA barcoding efforts involving animals have focused on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (Cox1) gene. Some authors suggest that this marker might under-diagnose young species. Herein, we examine Cox1 and control region diversity in a sample of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii), a species with an extremely wide geographic distribution in the major rivers of Siberia and in Lake...

Expression of growth hormone gene during early development of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii)

The mRNA expression of growth hormone (GH) gene in early development stages of Siberian sturgeon was investigated using RT-PCR method. Samples were collected from unfertilized eggs up to 50 days post hatched (dph) larvae in 11 different times. Ribosomal protein L6 (RPL6) transcripts were used as the internal standard during quantification of GH mRNA expression. The results showed that the GH mR...
