 Sturgeon culture 



In this country, in spite of the increasing 

 scarcity, sturgeon propagation is still in the ex- 

 perimental stage. In addition to the initial 

 difficulty in securing ripe fishes of both sexes 

 at the same time, which necessitates impound- 

 ing with subsequent frequent infertiUty of eggs, 

 the adhesive nature of the eggs is an additional 

 obstacle They have usually been hatched in 

 floating boxes and have been frequently subject 

 to fungus attacks. Further difficulties have 

 been met with in the tendency of the female to 

 " throw " or violently expel all her eggs imme- 

 diately when drawn from the water. This 

 difficulty has been partially met by the inser- 

 tion of a plug in the genital pore. Attempts 

 at rearing the young have been unsuccessful, 

 owing to the failure of the young to eat. 



In Kussia, however, on some of the rivers 

 flowing into the Caspian Sea such as the Oral 

 and Volga, efforts have been more successful 

 and numbers of young have been produced. It 

 seems that sturgeon eggs become ripe only when 

 both male and female are kept together in the 

 same enclosure. The naturally muddy river 

 water was used to overcome the adhesiveness 

 of, the eggs. Details of this Russian work are 

 given below and in a brief note by N. A. Borodin 

 in the Kept. U. S. Comm. Fish., 1919, Appendix 

 III, pp. 6-7.
