Abstract

Experiments were conducted to evaluate two types of live food for Russian Sturgeon larvae, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. Russian sturgeon larvae with initial weight 57.44±6.65 mg were transferred to 9 circular fiberglass tanks with a volume 50 liters and a density of 2 pieces per liter. The larvae were fed on different diets: (A) Artemia urmiana nauplii, (D) Daphnia sp., and a mixture of 50% Artemia+50% Daphnia (A+D) were fed, respectively. After a 28-day rearing period, the highest survival rate was obtained with the larvae receiving mixture feed (A+D). Feeding of the larvae with Daphnia sp. resulted in a significantly lower survival rate compared to the other groups. The obtained results showed that using a mixture of Artemia urmiana and Daphnia indicated to the best growth and feeding parameters for Acipenser gueldenstaedtii larvae.
