Cover Story: Sturgeons, ancient fish dating back 250 million years, are among the most endangered vertebrates. All 27 living species face threats from overfishing, habitat loss, and poaching. Accurate sex identification is vital for conservation and aquaculture, but traditional methods, with the exception of a histological analysis of gonadal tissue, are not always definitive. The shortnose sturgeon (Acipenser brevirostrum), with its only known Canadian population found in the Wolastoq River, has seen little research on sex ratios since 1979. Two genetic markers, ALLWSex2 and SSM4, now offer precise, non-invasive sexing. A new study tests these markers on shortnose sturgeon, explores multiplex PCR techniques, and examines blood sample storage effects—potentially transforming efforts to protect and manage this species at risk. View this paper
