Molecular Identification and Functional Characterization of LC-PUFA Biosynthesis Elongase (elovl2) Gene in Chinese Sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) [PDF]

Animals
Elongases of very-long-chain fatty acids (Elovls) are critical rate-limiting enzymes that are involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis through catalyzing the two-carbon elongation of a pre-existing fatty acyl chain. Thus far, several Elovls have been extensively

Short-term Effects of Flow and Sediment on Chinese Sturgeon Spawning

Procedia Engineering, 2012
AbstractChinese sturgeon prefers to spawn in rocky substrates with favorable hydrodynamic conditions. The short-term effects of the flow speeds and sediment concentrations on Chinese sturgeon spawning were studied. According to the statistical results, about 90% of the spawning events during 1983-2000 occurred after a couple of days during which the ...

Unique morphology and mechanical property of Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) fish skin. [PDF]

IET Nanobiotechnol, 2020
Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis) fish skin is an excellent natural material with remarkable mechanical properties owing to the unique structures of the helical stacking fibres. In this work, the authors studied the potential role of the sturgeon fish skin in the protective function through testing and analysed the structural features and ...
