Levels of free and conjugated androgens and progestins in coelomic fluid and serum of stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus Pallas) females, Cybium, 32, 2, 275-276, 2008.0399-0974AUT: ACA00258;http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/3881Stellate sturgeon (Acipenser stellatus Pallas) females from the Volga River were analysed for sex steroids after hormonal stimulation. The results show a significant increase of sulfated sex steroid levels in serum and coelomic fluid (CF) at final maturation (FM). It is hypothesized that the steroid metabolites could be part of a chemical communication system related to reproduction.engGlucuronidesSulfatesProgestinsAndrogensSturgeonjournal article2014-05-08
