Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii, is a commercially valuable fish for flesh and caviar production and a threatened species. We produced transcriptomic data for ten tissues with relevance to puberty, reproduction, early development, growth and food intake. The data includes RNA-Seq read sets of brain, pituitary, anterior-kidney, kidney, stomach, liver, heart, embryonic, pre-larval, and immature gonad sequences. Tissues were collected from sex differentiated fish (17 to 42 months of age, 66 to 85 cm) RNA was extracted and sequenced. Our purpose is to facilitate fundamental studies of sturgeon physiology to wild and aquaculture populations management.
