Hatching mark the transition of oviparous fish embryos from protection within egg envelope to direct exposure to aquatic microorganisms. In sturgeons, this occurs at the beginning of an extended yolk-dependent prelarval stage, when immune organs remain underdeveloped. However, the inducible innate defence capacity of newly hatched sturgeon prelarvae remains poorly characterized. This study examined acute immune-related transcriptional responses in newly hatched Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii prelarvae using microinjection-based stimulation model. Handling, anesthesia, non-injection, and saline injection produced no consistent changes in basal hamp or il1b expression, validating saline injection as a procedural control. Both LPS and poly (I:C) triggered rapid hamp upregulation, stronger at 6 h than 12 h post injection, though not strictly dose-proportional. Live bacterial injection showed stimulus-dependent patterns: Pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila induced approximately 15 fold hamp induction at 6 h post injection, and transiently elevated il1b. In contrast, non-pathogenic Bacillus subtilis produced expression patterns comparable to those of saline controls. Survival observations supported the biological distinction between the bacterial treatments. These findings suggest that newly hatched Siberian sturgeon prelarvae can initiate selected antimicrobial and inflammatory gene responses despite limited immune organ differentiation.
