Summary The article reviews the present knowledge of chromosome banding in sturgeons and summarizes recent findings obtained by both classical banding techniques (C‐banding, fluorescent and silver staining) and molecular methods, such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). The results are discussed in relation to karyotype organization and chromosome evolution in sturgeons.
