| ► Description: |
This
book is the first comprehensive description
of development of the Acipenserid fish
published in the English language. It con
tains the results of more than 40 years of
studies by the authors and their colleagues.
My own life in science has been intimately
related both with the authors and the fish,
which are the subject of this book.
Therefore, it gives me a great pleasure to
present to the English reader an expanded
version of the book. Those interested in the
history of biology must be well aware of the
fact that genetics in the USSR was
practically demolished by Lysenko at the
session of the Lenin All-Union Academy of
Agricultural Sciences in 1948. However, it
is much less well known that other
fundamental branches of biology were also
persecuted at that time, experimental
embryology (developmental mechanics) among
them. As a result, many embryologists, in
cluding the authors of this book, were
forced to turn to more ap plied problems,
this being the only way to continue
research. They had to abandon amphibians and
concentrate their efforts on sturgeon. |
