Abstract: A nationwide survey in July and August 2007 employed a representative sample of Chinese sturgeon farms from 2002–2006/2007, including data from previous surveys and official statistics dating back to 1998, showing that the development of China's sturgeon aquaculture has progressed steadily in the past few years. Acipenser baerii and Amur hybrids (Acipenser schrenckii * Huso dauricus) have become the dominant cultured species, accounting for 80% of total production. Production centers moved from the southeastern coast towards the midwestern inland provinces, where cold freshwater resources are available in abundance. The paper presents production trends as well as the price structure for commercial fish/meat and juveniles in the various provinces and also considers import and export data for products, fertilized eggs and fingerlings...
