the study on length and weight indices of great sturgeon (huso huso) cultured in brackish water
Authors
abstract
this study was done on 4 and 5 years old great sturgeon cultured in brackish water ponds in bafgh salt water fisheries research station during one year. we examined somatic growth indices and effects of different diets on blood parameters and total length and weight. diet with constant protein (%40) and different energy levels (400,425,450,475 cal/100g) were fed to 74 pieces of great sturgeons in 8 circle cement ponds. biometry, as well as blood analysis were done every season. the assay were done for glucose was measured with auto analyzer, calcium and magnesium with spectrophotometer and sodium and potassium with film photometer, hormone levels (cortisol, testosterone, progesterone and esteradiol) were measured by radio immunoassay (ria) in yazd central laboratory. total length and weight were not affected by sex, but they were affected significantly with season (p>0.05). the length and weight indices were also affected significantly by diet. along with increasing energy content, these indices were improved. among analyzed blood parameters, just magnesium had significant reverse correlation with total length and weight. also, testosterone had direct correlation with total weight and progesterone had reverse correlation with total length significantly. growth indices had overlapped in both sexes (a little more in male). on the other hand, growth rate was similar in both sexes, but somatic growth indices were slightly improved along with increasing age in males.

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...

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...
full textEffect 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...
