ABSTRACT: The development of new agricultural industries is an important challenge
for a region’s economic establishment. The connection between a research
department at MIGAL Institute and biotechnology in aquaculture is an example
(case study) of the interrelationships that also exist in other departments.
This article describes the research conducted by the institute supporting the
development of the aquaculture industry in Israel through the introduction of a
relatively new fish species—the Russian sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii), with the relevant information to be
used for acclimatization to aquaculture conditions in northern Israel. Many
aspects related to bringing a new species to Israel and working with this new
industry to study its adaptation to existing conditions in the north of the
country influenced the economic success of this new type of precision
agriculture. This article describes the research on various aspects affecting
the successful acclimatization of Russian sturgeon in northern Israel:
introduction, food development, reproduction, hormone systems that control
reproduction and growth, gonadal development,
and molecular markers for sex determination, differentiation, and economic
assessment of caviar production.
