Whole-genome Sequencing Reveals Autooctoploidy in Chinese Sturgeon and Its Evolutionary Trajectories. [PDF]
Genomics Proteomics Bioinformatics, 2023 Abstract The order Acipenseriformes, which includes sturgeons and paddlefishes, represents “living fossils” with complex genomes that are good models for understanding whole-genome duplication (WGD) and ploidy evolution in fishes. Here, we sequenced and assembled the first high-quality chromosome-level genome for the complex octoploid

Effects of feeding frequency on juvenile Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractIn this study, the effects of different feeding frequencies on the growth and the expression of genes in the GH/IGF axis were assessed in juvenile Chinese sturgeon. The newly hatched Chinese sturgeons were bred for 38 days at three different feeding frequencies groups (feeding frequency of two times a day, TWD; three times a day, THD; and four ...

Yangtze Dams Increasingly Threaten the Survival of the Chinese Sturgeon [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Dams are considered to be a serious threat to migratory fish on a global scale. Most of the world's rivers have been dammed, including those containing hotspots of fish diversity [1-3]. The mechanism by which dams affect fish is unclear and has often led to an underestimation of their cumulative and far-reaching adverse effects.
