Importance of environmental endocrinology in fisheries management and aquaculture of sturgeons

Research highlights ► The use of environmental endocrinology to determine sex and stage of maturity and identify oviposition on spawning grounds. ► The importance of understanding endocrine disruption pathways. ► The challenges and benefits of assessing stress in wild populations of sturgeon. ► Disc...

Description
Summary:Research highlights ► The use of environmental endocrinology to determine sex and stage of maturity and identify oviposition on spawning grounds. ► The importance of understanding endocrine disruption pathways. ► The challenges and benefits of assessing stress in wild populations of sturgeon. ► Discussion of three major physiological events in the reproductive development of farmed sturgeon understanding of which appears to be crucial for improving sturgeon aquaculture.
