Abstract
The article deals with the state of domestic sturgeon farming in general and commercial sturgeon farming in particular. The activity of the BIOS Centre, its role and significance in the establishment and development of commercial sturgeon farming in the country are covered in detail. The stages of formation of the enterprise itself in the development of material and technical base, improvement of personnel and scientific and production activities are described. It is shown that the Centre actually became the only enterprise in Russia that united powerful production and scientific potentials in the field of sturgeon breeding, and also gained international fame. The article contains data on the current state of the scientific-experimental aquaculture complex after the BIOS Centre became a part of the CaspNIRKh, shows its activities in the field of molecular genetic research and its contribution to the conservation and restoration of natural resources of sturgeon fish in the Volga-Caspian basin. In conclusion, materials on the organisation and holding of the exhibition complex organised by the Astrakhan Museum-Reserve in honour of the thirtieth anniversary of the BIOS Centre are presented.
