Abstract
The literature data and own on the biology, ecology, reproduction, behavior, nutrition and taxonomic status of the ship sturgeon Acipenser nudiventris Lovetsky, 1828 have been analyzed. In the IUCN Red List, the ship sturgeon has the status of critically endangered sturgeon species. Single individuals are still found in the Balkhash-Ili basin (Kazakhstan-China) due to its introduction in 1933–1934. In China, the ship sturgeon has the second category of animal protection, moreover. It should be noted that this is the only example of successful acclimatization among sturgeons. The ship sturgeon has such ecological and biological features as long-term habitation in the rivers of mountain origin with the following migration into the delta and coastal areas of the sea; high fertility associated with a high mortality rate in their early ontogenesis; a wide spectrum of nutrition depending on the habitat. In the early stages of their development, the ship sturgeon is notable for their photophobia and intolerance of even minimal salinity. Currently, in order to preserve this species, it is necessary to take emergency measures to form breeding stocks, increasing aquaculture production, define reproduction biotechnologies more exactly, and to study the peculiarities of its growth and maturation under artificial conditions.
