Abstract

The principles of a successful health management program include rapid, efficient and accurate diagnosis of the cause of disease and mortality. Molecular methods have significantly changed the diagnostic methods of fish diseases. These techniques are more convenient than conventional methods because they are generally faster, more specific, and more accurate, and also, it is easier to detect and identify non-cultivable and slow-growing pathogens using molecular methods. Access to prevention methods or proper treatment in different stages of reproduction and breeding of sturgeon is not unattainable, but in the past years, due to the lack of expert staff and specialized laboratories, this need has not been seriously considered. This is while the mortality and economic losses caused by diseases in different stages of have been in the reproduction and breeding centers for many years, and this will have a direct effect on the production rate and fish farming profit, so quick diagnosis of the disease is necessary. Using modern methods and the disease timely treatment is very important considering the long process of breeding sturgeons with high economic value. In the present study, the methods of molecular diagnosis of sturgeon diseases are presented.
