Abstract
The purpose of this manuscript is to investigate the applications of new molecular technologies in genetic protection and breeding programs of sturgeons. Due to the production of black caviar, the order of Acipenseriformes including two families Acipenseridae (sturgeons) and Polyodontidae (paddlefishes), contains the economic most valuable species in world trade, hence, these species were and are the goal of many genetic conservation programs around the world. There are several species of sturgeons in the southern parts of the Caspian Sea and the rivers leading to it. In recent decades, the use of genetic information has been proposed as an essential component of management programs for endangered species such as sturgeons. Without the implementation of sustainable breeding and conservation programs, there is a low probability for the survival of the current populations of sturgeons. New molecular technologies such as genome engineering and genome transplantation (germline cell transplantation and Somatic cell nuclear transfer) are promising solutions for gamete production, creation of gene banks, genetic reconstruction, protection and restoration of endangered species with a long reproductive cycle such as sturgeons.
