Abstract :Scoliosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(lateral curvature of the spine); is a health problem that is encountered in fishes. Swimming ability of fishes diagnosed with scoliosis is limited and therefore malnutrition occurs. Consequently, some health problems may encountered in these fishes. The aim of this study was to determine to what extent fishes diagnosed with scoliosis are affected from this disease by developing a grading method that can conduct physical measurements of scoliosis detected in Siberian sturgeon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869);. Our study was carried out on 34 scoliotic Siberian sturgeons obtained from a commercial fish farm, 61.3±9.7 cm in length and 694.9±15.2 g in weight . According to this method that we have created to measure the degree of scoliosis in Siberian sturgeon, 1°-18.9° was defined as presence of scoliosis, 19° and above was defined as severe scoliosis. In the measured scoliotic fishes, were detected presence of scoliosis in 14 fishes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(41.18%); and severe scoliosis in 20 fishes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(58.82%);.Keywords : Acipenser baerii, Grading method, Scoliosis, Sturgeon
