Beschreibung
This two-volume book set focuses on the Siberian sturgeon. Acipenser baerii Brandt 1869, one of the 27 “existing” sturgeon species, is a native species of the Siberian catchments, where – as in many other parts of the world – the sturgeon populations are now threatened. Sturgeon farming practices targeting caviar and meat production have been expanding worldwide since the 1990s, and have seen a further increase since the turn of the century. Among the handful of sturgeon species used for significant production, the most dominant is the Siberian sturgeon. Given its peculiar phylogenetic position as a chondrostei and its use as a biological model in e.g. France, the species has also attracted the attention of biologists.
The aim of the editors was to provide for the first time a comprehensive and updated synthesis regarding the farming-related biology of the Siberian sturgeon. In light of the abundance of material, it has been divided into two volumes, with a focus on biology and farming, respectively. The main parts of Volume 1 are Biology and ecology, Biology and physiology of reproduction, and Ecophysiology, i.e. adaptation to the environment. In turn, Volume 2 is divided into six parts: Reproduction and early ontogenesis, Growing, Global production, Long-term management of brood stock, State of health through welfare and immunology, and Ecological risks of installation in non-native waters, illustrated by two long-term documented examples in Russia and France.

This set of two volumes provides a comprehensive synthesis on the biology, farming, management and restoration programs of the Siberian sturgeon Volume 1. “The Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869) – Volume 1 – Biology” Provides a comprehensive synthesis of the sturgeon’s biology, including: Biology and Ecology, Physiology of Reproduction, and Ecophysiology, i.e. adaptation to the environment Shares detailed insights on unusual topics and/or updated syntheses, e.g. species-specificity, new insights on mineralization and ossification, genetic sex determination, transposable elements in gonads, early ontogeny, sensory capacity, nutrition, swimming, chemical neuroanatomy of the central nervous system, oogenesis with the unique simultaneous description by image and physiological phenomena, gonadal steroids, steroid profiles, physiological effects of environmental stress (hypoxia and exposition to ammonia particularly), as well as selected methods (aortic cannulation, respiration physiology) Intended for fish biologists, specialists in comparative biology and/or evolutionary biology, sturgeon scientists, sturgeon farmers, and consultants in a variety of fields, e.g. in aquaculture, farming design, and water management Volume 2. “The Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869) – Volume 2 – Farming” Provides comprehensive information on sturgeon farming, including: Reproduction, Food and Feeding, Long-term Management of Brood Stock, State of Health, and Ecological Risks Shares detailed insights on unusual topics and/or updated syntheses, e.g. controlled reproduction and related issues, fish meal replacement, endocrine disruptions, prebiotics and immunostimulants, off-flavor management, global production of meat and caviar, hybrids, welfare, immunology, ecological risks of installation, as well as selected methods (in vitro incubation of ovarian follicles, richly illustrated library of echographs allowing non-invasive in vivo exploration, oxygen demand) Intended for sturgeon farmers, field technicians, sturgeon biologists, veterinarians, teachers in aquaculture and fisheries, people dealing with administrative management of aquaculture and fisheries, and consultants in a variety of fields, e.g. aquaculture, audits in sturgeon farming, farming design, water management, genotyping, and veterinary medicine for fish
