Aim. The aim of this study was to conduct an analysis long‐term changes in the number sturgeon populations and its relationship with fishing regime current state Ural River basin, as well develop measures for conservation restoration their resources. Discussion. Six species inhabit waters basin: Huso huso Linnaeus, 1758; Acipenser gueldenstaedtii Brandt & Ratzeburg, 1833; persicus Borodin, ...

The associations were quantified between daily and interannual variation in the timing of a closed population of lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens migration and arrival at spawning sites with stream environmental and lunar covariates. Spawning data were gathered from 1262 fish in Black Lake, Michigan 2001 to 2008 and by video monitoring 2000 to 2002. Sex-specific variation in responses to exte...

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...

–Growth rates of juvenile lake sturgeon (initial weight 8 to 9 g, temperature 17.5° C), fed twice a day on brown worms for 56 days increased from -1.5% BW/d (% body wet weight/day) at zero ration to 2.6% BW/d at a ration of 13.2% BW/d. Maintenance ration was 1.6% BW/d. Fish fed larger rations had higher energy densities and lower water content. Appetite (average volitional daily food consumptio...
