EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from "Fishes of Economic Importance of the USSR" by Lev Semenovich Berg and colleagues (1949) presents a captivating illustration of the Russian sturgeon, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. This majestic bony fish, belonging to the Acipenseridae family and the Acipenseriform order, is native to the Caspian and Black Seas. The Russian sturgeon is easily recognizable with its pointed, elongated snout and forked, brown body. Its daytime appearance is depicted in the illustration, revealing a powerful and elegant creature. The fish's large, piercing eyes suggest a keen awareness of its surroundings, while its gill openings are visible at the base of its pectoral fins. Acipenser gueldenstaedtii is an important species in the world of ichthyology, with a historical record dating back to 1876. Lev Semenovich Berg, a renowned Russian ichthyologist, was instrumental in documenting and studying this fascinating fish. His meticulous work, as seen in this illustration, has contributed significantly to our understanding of the biology and ecology of the Russian sturgeon. The Acipenseriformes order, to which the Russian sturgeon belongs, is characterized by their bony skeletons and ray-finned tails. This order, along with the Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish), makes up the larger group of Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fishes. The Russian sturgeon is not only a subject of scientific interest but also holds cultural significance in the regions where it is found. It is a symbol of the rich aquatic biodiversity of the Caspian and Black Seas and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these unique ecosystems for future generations.
