Résumé : International audience
This two-volume book set focuses on the Siberian sturgeon. Acipenser baerii Brandt 1869, one of the 27 “existing” sturgeon species, is a native species of the Siberian catchments, where – as in many other parts of the world – the sturgeon populations are now threatened. Sturgeon farming practices targeting caviar and meat production have been expanding worldwide since the 1990s, and have seen a further increase since the turn of the century. Among the handful of sturgeon species used for significant production, the most dominant is the Siberian sturgeon. Given its peculiar phylogenetic position as a chondrostei and its use as a biological model in e.g. France, the species has also attracted the attention of biologists.

Résumé : International audience
In order to improve our knowledge on the vertebral development, structure and mineralization in Acipenseriformes, we undertook a study in a growth series of reared Siberian sturgeons (Acipenser baerii) using in toto clear and stain specimens, histological and ultrastructural observations, X-ray micro-tomography, and solid state NMR analyses. Scutes were also studied to compare the tissue structure and mineralization of endoskeletal and dermal skeletal elements. This study completes and clarifies previous investigations on vertebral development and architecture in sturgeons, and brings original data on the structure of (i) the perichondral bone that is progressively deposited around the vertebral elements during ontogeny, (ii) the typical cartilage composing these elements, and (iii) the scutes. In addition we provide data on the mineralization process, on the nature of the bone mineral phase, and on the growth dynamics of the vertebral elements.

Résumé : International audience
We review current knowledge of axial skeleton biology in Acipenseriformes with the aim to know whether available data can help in understanding axial anomalies (anomalies of the vertebral column) in reared sturgeons or if further investigations are needed prior to undertake such analysis. In particular, accurate data on axial skeleton development, structure and mineralization are required to understand these pathologies. We show that such knowledge is fragmented and incomplete when compared to the information available in teleost fish. In Acipenseriformes, we only know that (i) the axial skeleton morphology is highly distinctive, as mostly cartilaginous, (ii) the vertebrae are composed of several elements organized around a persistent and unconstricted notochord, and (iii) mineralization only concerns a few of these elements and occurs late in ontogeny, but virtually no descriptions demonstrating the presence of bone (perichondral, membranous...) or mineralized cartilage is available in the literature. In addition, few studies concern axial anomalies in the wild or in rearing conditions, and the determinism of these pathologies is largely unknown. This is in contrast with the numerous studies dealing with the axial skeleton and its anomalies in many farmed teleost species, in which axial anomalies can result from numerous factors, such as unfavourable abiotic conditions, inappropriate nutrition and genetic factors. However, even if some parallels can be established between teleosts and sturgeons, it appears that current knowledge of the axial skeleton in teleosts may not help much in the study of axial anomalies in sturgeons. Knowledge of axial skeleton biology in sturgeon has to be therefore deeply improved prior to undertake investigations focusing on these pathologies.
