Sequences analysis and pituitary actions of tachykinins in Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis)
Gene, 2023Tachykinins belong to a large, evolutionarily conserved family of brain/gut peptides that are involved in a variety of physiological functions in mammals, such as reproductive regulation. However, little information was available about tachykinins in ancient fish lineage.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis)
Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014The 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
2009Since 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 ...

The effects of dam operation on Chinese sturgeon natural propagation
2011 International Conference on Electrical and Control Engineering, 2011The construction of Gezhouba dam has blocked the migration path of the Chinese sturgeon and forced the formation of a new spawning ground for Chinese sturgeon natural reproduction in the downstream of Gezhouba. The operation of the Three Gorges dam changed the natural course of the river flow and the hydrodynamic characteristics of the Yangtze river ...

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.

A bedform morphology hypothesis for spawning areas of Chinese sturgeon
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2008Results from previous research suggested that geomorphic characteristics may be important controlling factors among other microhabitat variables for spawning fish. We investigated the bedform morphology of seven spawning areas (five historic and two present spawning areas) of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) by analysis of relief maps of the ...

Gene, 2012
The nanos gene family was essential for germ line development in diverse organisms. In the present study, the full-length cDNA of a nanos1 homologue in A. sinensis, Asnanos1, was isolated and characterized. The cDNA sequence of Asnanos1 was 1489 base pairs (bp) in length and encoded a peptide of 228 amino acid residues.

Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Chinese Sturgeon Spawning Ground in Yangtze River
Journal of Hydrodynamics, 2008Since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam on the Yangtze River in 1981, it has been found that the Chinese Sturgeon, Acipensor sinensis, performs natural propagation annually in a narrow reach downstream close to the Gezhouba Dam site. This might allow one to better investigate the river hydrodynamic conditions of the Chinese Sturgeon spawning ground.

The skull of the Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis (Acipenseridae)
Acta Zoologica, 2015AbstractThe Chinese sturgeon, Acipenser sinensis, is a large member of Acipenseridae now found only in the Yangtze River and the Yellow and East China seas. The goal of this paper was to describe the skull of A. sinensis in the context of recent anatomical and systematic studies of sturgeons. Five specimens (354–670 mm standard length) were prepared as

Dam is considered as a serious threatening factor for migratory fishes on a global scale. The quantitative mechanism of dam’s impact on anadromous fish, including the Chinese stur-geon in the Yangtze River, is an unsolved issue. Here we propose an essential theory covering four theoretical models of fish migration, breeding and population size, to ...
