Abstract

The dynamics of physiological and biochemical parameters of blood and urine in the process of gonad maturation in females of the sterlet × beluga hybrid (Acipenser ruthenus L., 1758 × Huso huso L., 1758) grown using CWSI technology is studied. It is shown that, when this technology is applied, features in functional changes that accompany the gonadogenesis of female hybrids appear, distinguishing them from those of fish from natural populations. At the same time, the direction of the generative exchange aimed at the formation of gametes is generally the same as in females from natural populations. However, the evidence of this process, reflecting its intensity at different stages of gonad development, is not as distinct as in females migrating to spawn. Possible reasons for high levels of the studied physiological and biochemical parameters in blood of females of the hybrid after the end of their artificial wintering are discussed.
