Project:
"International Sturgeon "
Aims : collaboration between
scientists and experts of different countries in the field of conservation,
protection and rehabilitation of sturgeon populations for the benefit of present
and future human generations.
Urgent objectives of the project:
- create a computer data-base of:
- condition and status of sturgeon population over range States
- new appropriate technologies on artificial reproduction of sturgeon
populations and maintenance of living collections of rare and endangered
sturgeon species
- scientific and technical 'know-how" in the field of sturgeon
conservation, protection and cultivation
- ways of environment conditions improvement over the areas of sturgeon
inhabitation
- cryo-data banks on conservation of genetic material samples and its using
for restoration of the natural populations
Conducting research work:
- in the field of genetic monitoring, number dynamics and sturgeon ecology
- on sturgeon genetics and conservation of its genetic diversity
- in the field working out environmentally friendly appropriate
biotechnologies of sturgeon cultivation for supplement
Publications:
- information bulletins, recommendations, scientific and popular literature on
different issues of sturgeon protection and cultivation
- educational and popular audio and video materials about world scientific and
practical "know-how" in sturgeon conservation and cultivation
Organization activity:
- preparing, development and organization of conferences, symposia and working
groups on the problems of conservation and unexhausted utilization of sturgeon
populations in different areas
