Abstract
The declining sturgeon population has prompted increased efforts for protection and recovery, resulting in its listing on the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Conservation and restoration efforts for sturgeon populations are vital within the context of aquaculture. The substantial growth of knowledge in this field between 1970 and 2022 underscores the need for a comprehensive bibliographic review. This review aims to categorize and optimize existing research to advance the sustainable development of sturgeon populations. Using bibliometric indicators and tools such as VOSviewer, R, Maxqda, and Publish or Perish, this study examined 1,118 peer-reviewed articles collected from the Scopus database. The review provides an overview of studies on sturgeon conservation and sustainable development. Our analysis suggests that future research should focus on six key factors: environmental impacts, management practices, genetic data, nutritional status, sturgeon characteristics, and the capabilities of sturgeon sperm. The results emphasize that the conservation of sturgeon is a multifaceted concept associated with changes in environmental conditions and human activities as well as sturgeon morphology, physiology, and genetics. This review aims to guide future research toward enhanced sturgeon protection by presenting the results of various analyses, identifying scientific and research gaps, and specifying research priorities.
期刊介绍:
International in perspective, Aquaculture Research is published 12 times a year and specifically addresses research and reference needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of aquaculture. The Journal regularly publishes papers on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish, and marine aquaculture. It covers all aquatic organisms, floristic and faunistic, related directly or indirectly to human consumption. The journal also includes review articles, short communications and technical papers. Young scientists are particularly encouraged to submit short communications based on their own research.
