Sturgeons belong to the Acipenseriformes, which provide an ideal model for evolutionary studies due to their unique characters. At present, many species of Acipenseriformes are very rare and near extinct. It is urgent to protect these species. However, data on molecular mechanisms of their growth and reproduction regulation are still limited. Hormones are important factors involved in these processes. In this paper, we summarized recent research progresses in the hormones in sturgeon, which will provide valuable information for further studies on molecular mechanisms of growth, sexual development, and reproduction regulation in Acipenseriformes.
