Abstract:

Presently, the stellate sturgeon population in the Caspic and Black seas has drastically diminished, in the Danube river, the last important river for stellate sturgeon roe deposits, the species is considered close to extinction (Khodorevskaya P. R. et al.,1997) (Bacalbasa-Dobrovici N., 1997).

Reestablishing the natural stock of stellate sturgeon is attempted by artificial reproduction in hope of reinforcing the structure of the population and the genetic diversity of this sturgeon.

The research was conducted on specimens bred at the Station for sturgeon growth belonging to ICDEAPA Galati.

The specimens were processed and analyzed in both the fresh stage and while they were kept in refrigerated conditions at a temperature of 40C.

The evaluation of the sensorial and microbiological modifications was done until the appearance of the sensorial indicators showing the degradation of the sturgeon’s meat, knowing that the main cause which produces the alteration of the fish is the activity of contamination microorganisms followed by autolithic processes.

Avoiding the degradation of the meat is done by applying the adequate conservation methods.
