Sperm maturation in sturgeon (Actinopterygii, Acipenseriformes): A review

Theriogenology, 2017
The morphology of the reproductive system of acipenseriform fishes is quite different from that of teleostean species, but an associated unique physiological difference in male sturgeons was not discovered until recently; sperm of sturgeons passes through the kidneys then via Wolffian ducts into the environment rather that emptying directly through ...

Polyploidy in Acipenseriformes: Cytogenetic and Molecular Approaches

2007
Cytogenetic and molecular data gave insights into species differentiation processes within the sturgeon order, suggesting new taxonomical and phylogenetic relationships.

Sturgeons and paddlefishes (Acipenseriformes)

2009
Abstract The extant sturgeons (Acipenseridae, containing four genera—Acipenser, Huso, Pseudoscaphirhynchus, and Scaphirhynchus) and paddleAshes (Polyodontidae, containing two monospeciAc genera—Polyodon and Psephurus) with some extinct families form a monophyletic group of the ray-Anned Ashes, the Order Acipenseriformes.

Complete mitochondrial genome ofAcipenser schrenckii(Acipenseriformes, Acipenseridae)

Mitochondrial DNA, 2013
Abstract The complete nucleotide sequence of Acipenser schrenckii mtDNA is 16,592 bp long (Accession No. KC820796). The total mitochondrial genome is consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 1 control region. The gene organization and arrangement is identical to typical vertebrates.

The threatened status of acipenseriform species: a summary

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1997
...increased demand has recently driven the price of black market smoked sturgeon as high as $ 26 a kilogram. With poachers standing to gain roughly a third of this price [besides the much higher price of caviar], a large fish could be worth thousands of dollars.

Leo Semenovich Berg and the biology of Acipenseriformes: A dedication

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1997
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Leo Semenovich Berg (1876–1950), a Russian ichthyologist and geographer. In the foreword to the English translation of Berg's remarkable treatise, ‘Nomogenesis or evolution according to law’, Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote: ‘Berg was one of the outstanding intellects among Russian scientists.

Identification of Acipenseriformes species in trade

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, 2008
Summary Sturgeons and paddlefishes (Acipenseridae) are highly endangered freshwater fishes. Their eggs (sold as caviar) are one of the most valuable wildlife products in international trade. Concerns of overharvesting and the conservation status of many of the 27 extant species of Acipenseriformes led to all species being included on the CITES ...

Sturgeon rivers: an introduction to acipenseriform biogeography and life history

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1997
We present an overview of the global distribution of all 27 living species of Acipenseriformes in an attempt to understand their biogeographic history and the range of life history patterns displayed by different species. Our biogeographic analysis (based on the most recent phylogenetic analysis including fossil Acipenseriformes) suggests that ...

Toward a Phylogenetic Taxonomy of Sturgeons (Acipenseriformes: Acipenseridae)

Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History
Acipenseriformes, comprising sturgeons and paddlefishes, is one of the three ancient and species-poor living lineages of non-teleost Actinopterygii. Here, we use DNA sequence and morphological data to investigate the phylogenetic relationships of sturgeons and produce a phylogenetic basis for the taxonomy of Acipenseridae.
