...Peter J. Allen; Dirk Weihrauch; Vanessa Grandmaison; Patricia Dasiewicz; Stephan J. Peake; W. Gary Anderson Calcium metabolism and mRNA levels of the epithelial calcium channel (ECaC) were examined in a freshwater cartilaginous fish, the lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens. Lake sturgeon were...

...Michaela Meyer; Richard R. Fay; Arthur N. Popper SUMMARY Acipenser fulvescens , the lake sturgeon, belongs to one of the few extant non-teleost ray-finned (bony) fishes. The sturgeons (family Acipenseridae) have a phylogenetic history that dates back about 250 million years. The study reported here...

... of measuring the direction of force produced relative to body position in the aquatic medium. We measured the direction of force produced by the heterocercal tail of the white sturgeon ( Acipenser transmontanus ) by visualizing flow in the wake of the tail using digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) while...

... oscillatory movements, and pectoral fin propulsion in this relatively derived clade has been analyzed extensively. However, in the plesiomorphic pectoral fin condition, exemplified by sturgeon, pectoral fins extend laterally from the body in a generally horizontal orientation, have been assumed to generate...

Agradi ABSTRACT We investigated the effects of a diet enriched in omega-3 ( ω 3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and vitamin E on responses of sturgeon ( Acipenser naccarii ) to hypoxia. After 3...
