A comparative analysis of feeding habits of sturgeon fish in shallow coastal waters of Mazandaran and Golestan Provinces, south Caspian Sea [PDF]
Feeding habits of different genera of 354 sturgeon specimens (Acipenser persicus, Acipenser nudiventris, and Acipenser stellatus) were compared over the years 1999-2000 caught in the coastal waters less than 20 meters deep of Mazandaran and Golestan ...

The effects of diazinon on haematological indices and LC50 (96h) of Acipenser nudiventris [PDF]
We treated 150 specimens of Acipenser nudiventris with diazinon and used 30 individuals as control to assess the haematological effects of the pesticide and LC50(96h) for the fish.

A Guideline Value for Dioxin‐Like Compounds in Marine Sediments
Abstract Sediments to be dredged as part of the installation of a harbor crossing in Sydney, Australia, contained measurable concentrations of dioxin‐like compounds. To assess the suitability of these sediments for ocean disposal, a defensible sediment quality guideline value (SQGV) for dioxin‐like compounds, expressed as pg toxic equivalent (TEQ)fish ...

Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Seasonal Movements and Spatial Overlap of Juvenile and Adult Lake Sturgeon in Lake Champlain
Abstract The lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens is a large, long‐lived, potamodromous species that is widely distributed throughout freshwater systems in the central part of North America. In this study, we used acoustic telemetry to examine seasonal distribution and movement patterns of endangered Lake Sturgeon in Lake Champlain, Vermont.

Abstract Successful conservation of long‐lived species requires reliable understanding of long‐term trends and historical baselines. We present a framework for evaluating abundance trends and conservation outcomes for long‐lived marine species by integrating local ecological knowledge (LEK), ecological monitoring, and computer simulation, tested on a ...
