| Abstract: | The results are presented that have been obtained during long-term studies (1991–2009) on the efficiency of natural reproduction
of the beluga, Russian sturgeon, stellate sturgeon, and sterlet in different spawning zones of the Volga. The influence of
major environmental factors on the formation of the offspring of these fishes is analyzed. It is shown that the productivity
of Volga spawning grounds varies depending on the river flow volume during spring floods and the abundance of active spawners.
Practical recommendations are proposed for enhancing sturgeon reproduction in the Volga. |
