the study on length and weight indices of great sturgeon (huso huso) cultured in brackish water

Morphological and Histological Study of Kidney in Juvenile Great Sturgeon (Huso huso) and Persian Sturgeon (Acipenser persicus)

Sturgeons are ancient and commercial fishes which posses’ primitive characteristics and due to their great inflections are able to live in both freshwater and marine environments. So their kidney has great ability for adaptation process. In order to find the structure and distribution of kidney nephrons in juvenile Huso huso and Acipensr persicus, sampling of head, body and caudal parts of kidn...

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis infection in Bester sturgeon, a cultured hybrid of Huso huso × Acipenser ruthenus, in Taiwan.

Approximately 5300 hybrid sturgeons with an average body weight of 600-800 g were farmed in 3 round tankers measuring 3m in diameter each containing 28,000 L of aerated groundwater. According to the owner's description, the diseased fish had anorexia, pale body color, and reddish spots on the abdomen. The morbidity and lethality rates in this outbreak were about 70% (3706/5300) and 100% (3706/3...

Biochemical responses of juvenile European sturgeon, (Huso huso) to a sub-lethal level of copper and cadmium in freshwater and brackish water environments

In Caspian Sea basin, sturgeons spend the larval and juvenile stages in freshwaters of rivers and then, they migrate to brackish waters of the sea where they grow and mature. With regard to the elevation of the metal concentrations in coastal waters and sediments of the Caspian Sea and its adjacent rivers, it is likely that juvenile sturgeon are exposed to sub-lethal levels of metals during sea...

Effect of different stocking densities on hematological parameters and growth performance of great sturgeon (Huso huso)

A 5 weeks study was conducted to determine the effects of different stocking density on hematological parameters of great sturgeon. Fish were cultured in duplicates of fiberglass tanks under stocking densities of 50, 75, 100 and 125 fish/m3 as T1, T2, T3 and T4 respectively. Based on the results significant increase (p<0.05) in total body weight and total length were related to low density grou...
