Summary:

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the advances in biology and conservation research on Chinese sturgeon in the Yangtze Estuary. The chapters feature the latest developments in Chinese sturgeon research and cover topics such as early development and ontogenetic behaviour, growth and feeding, ecophysiology, ecotoxicology, population dynamics, conservation management, etc. The volume not only lays a foundation for the research and conservation of Chinese sturgeon but also provides references for other sturgeons. It is an invaluable reference for sturgeon researchers. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.
