In sturgeon aquaculture, where the main purpose is caviar production, a reliable method is needed to&#13;\nseparate fish according to gender. Currently, due to the lack of external sexual dimorphism, the fish are&#13;\nsexed by an invasive surgical examination of the gonads. Development of a non-invasive procedure for&#13;\nsexing fish based on genetic markers is of special interest. In the present study we employed Bulked&#13;\nSegregant Analysis (BSA) methodology to search for DNA markers asso
