Sturgeons are ancient fish, with 27 species distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. This review first touches upon the significance of sturgeons in the context of their biological, ecological, and economic importance, highlighting their status as "living fossils" and the challenges they face in genomic research due to their diverse chromosome numbers. This review then discusses how omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) have been used in sturgeon research, which so far has only been done on Acipenser species. It focuses on metabolomics as a way to better understand how sturgeons work and how they react to their environment. Specific studies in sturgeon metabolomics are cited, showing how metabolomics has been used to investigate various aspects of sturgeon biology, such as growth, reproduction, stress responses, and nutrition. These studies demonstrate the potential of metabolomics in improving sturgeon aquaculture practices and conservation efforts. Overall, the review suggests that metabolomics, as a relatively new scientific tool, has the potential to enhance our understanding of sturgeon biology and aid in their conservation and sustainable aquaculture, contributing to global food security efforts.
鲟鱼是一种古老的鱼类，有 27 个种分布在北半球。本综述首先探讨了鲟鱼在生物、生态和经济重要性方面的意义，强调了它们作为“活化石”的地位，以及由于其染色体数量多样，在基因组研究中面临的挑战。本综述还讨论了组学技术（基因组学、转录组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学）在鲟鱼研究中的应用，目前这些技术仅在鲟科物种中进行过研究。本综述重点讨论了代谢组学作为一种更好地了解鲟鱼工作原理以及它们对环境反应的方法。引用了鲟鱼代谢组学的具体研究，展示了代谢组学如何用于研究鲟鱼生物学的各个方面，如生长、繁殖、应激反应和营养。这些研究表明代谢组学在改善鲟鱼水产养殖实践和保护工作方面具有潜力。总的来说，本综述表明，代谢组学作为一种相对较新的科学工具，有可能增强我们对鲟鱼生物学的理解，并有助于它们的保护和可持续水产养殖，为全球粮食安全做出贡献。
