The complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) was determined by direct sequencing of PCR products. The Chinese sturgeon mitochondrial DNA is a circular molecule (16,688 bp in length) with the typical gene arrangement of vertebrate mtDNA, containing 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA genes, and a ...

Vorticity Characteristics of Chinese Sturgeon Spawning Ground

2009
Since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam in 1981, it has been found that Chinese sturgeon, Acipensor sinensis, performes natural propagation annually in a narrow reach downstream close to the Gezhouba Dam site. This would allow one to better investigate what the hydraulic and morphologic conditions of a river can meet the Chinese sturgeon spawning ...

Mechanism of Chinese sturgeon IFN-γ inhibition on Mycobacterium marinum (Acipenser sinensis).

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
IFN-γ plays a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immune responses and is a typical Th1 cytokine that promotes Th1 response and activates macrophages. When macrophages were incubated with IFN-γ, their phagocytosis ratio against Mycobacterium marinum increased significantly, as observed under fluorescence microscopy.

Two-dimensional habitat modeling of Chinese sturgeon spawning sites

Ecological Modelling, 2010
Abstract Since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam in the 1980s, the number of Chinese sturgeon in the Yangtze River has been rapidly declining. The Gezhouba Dam has cutoff the migration path of these sturgeon, resulting in an overall reduction of suitable sturgeon habitat.

Spermatogonia From Cryopreserved Testes of Critically Endangered Chinese Sturgeon Efficiently Colonized and Preferentially Proliferated in the Recipient Gonads of Yangtze Sturgeon

Marine Biotechnology, 2022
The critically endangered Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, presents late sexual maturity and has a large body size. Germ cell transplantation is a powerful technique for the production of gametes from large-bodied species in closely related recipients with a smaller body size and shorter generation time.

Neuropeptides and hormones in hypothalamus-pituitary axis of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2023
The hypothalamus and pituitary serve as important neuroendocrine center, which is able to secrete a variety of neuropeptides and hormones to participate in the regulation of reproduction, growth, stress and feeding in fish. Chinese sturgeon is a basal vertebrate lineage fish with a special evolutionary status, but the information on its neuroendocrine ...

Ontogenetic Behavior and Migration of Chinese Sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis

Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2002
The Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, is an anadromous protected species that presently only spawns in the Yangtze River. Using laboratory experiments, we examined the behavioral preference of young Chinese sturgeon to physical habitat (water depth, illumination intensity, substrate color, and cover) and monitored their downstream migration ...

Extraction, purification and characterisation of chondroitin sulfate in Chinese sturgeon cartilage

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2013
AbstractBACKGROUNDChinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis), a rare species, is an important fishery resource in China. To save this species from overfishing, damming and pollution, artificial propagation has been developed rapidly in recent years. However, the cartilage from Chinese sturgeon, which contains an abundance of chondroitin sulfate (CS), is ...

Acclimation effect on fish migratory characteristics: determination of appropriate acclimation period for Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis.

Journal of Fish Biology
The acclimation period is a crucial and controllable factor in managing fish stress prior to behavioural observations. However, research in this area-particularly regarding its effects-remains limited.

Environmentally responsive changes in mucus indicators and microbiota of Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis.

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
The impact of environmental factors on the health of the endangered Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) and the potential hazards associated with sample collection for health monitoring pose urgent need to its conservation. In this study, Chinese sturgeons were selected from indoor and outdoor environments to evaluate metabolic and tissue damage ...
