Acipenser sturio fish oil, rich in ω-3 PUFAs, offers potential for functional foods but is prone to oxidative degradation. This study investigates enhancing antioxidant and emulsifying properties of the oil by modifying Acipenser sturgeon protein (ASP) using metal-phenolic networks (MPNs). ASP was coated with EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate) and Ca, forming ASP-EGCG-Ca complexes (AECas) used as emulsifiers.

Assessing how at-risk species respond to co-occurring stressors is critical for predicting climate change vulnerability. In this study, we characterized how young-of-the-year White Sturgeon () cope with warming and low oxygen (hypoxia) and investigated whether prior exposure to one stressor may improve the tolerance to a subsequent stressor through "cross-tolerance". Fish were acclimated to five temperatures within their natural range (14-22°C) for one month prior to assessment of thermal tolerance (critical thermal maxima, CTmax) and hypoxia tolerance (incipient lethal oxygen saturation, ILOS; tested at 20°C).

The lateral line system enables fishes and aquatic-stage amphibians to detect local water movement via mechanosensory hair cells in neuromasts, and many species to detect weak electric fields via electroreceptors (modified hair cells) in ampullary organs. Both neuromasts and ampullary organs develop from lateral line placodes, but the molecular mechanisms underpinning ampullary organ formation are understudied relative to neuromasts. This is because the ancestral lineages of zebrafish (teleosts) and (frogs) independently lost electroreception.

Environmental factors play an important role in phenotypic development of fishes, which has implications for hatchery-reared fishes that are released into the wild where natural cues are present. There is interest in examining how early exposure to dietary odourants can affect development of olfaction. The aim of our study was to use behavioural, molecular and electro-physiological techniques to evaluate how introduction of the amino acid L-alanine to the rearing environment might influence the development of olfactory perception of dietary cues, growth and survival in lake sturgeon (), a species of conservation concern.

This study focuses on the common presence of repetitive sequences within the sturgeon genome that may contribute to enhanced immune responses against infectious diseases. A repetitive 675 bp VAC-2M sequence in Russian sturgeon DNA that aligns with the Siberian sturgeon IGLV gene cluster was identified. A specific 218 bp long portion of the sequence was found to be identical between , and species, and NCBI blast analysis confirmed the presence of this DNA segment in the genome.
