A feeding trial has been conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary nucleotide (NT) on growth performance and stress resistance of fry kutum (Rutilus kutum Kamenskii, 1901). A basal diet supplemented with 0 (control), 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 g NT kg-1 have been formulated for four experimental diets. After 8 weeks of feeding trial, growth parameters were evaluated and then fish has exposed to osmoti...

Kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum, is an commercially important fish in the Caspian Sea. The fish enters the rivers leading to the Caspian Sea for spawning. One of these rivers is Shiroud River. In the artificial propagation process of Kutum, different factors are involved in quality and quantity of female broods eggs and also in the best temperature and migration time for spawning. The influence of ...

caspian kutum, rutilus frisii kutum, is one of the most commercially important fish species in the caspian sea, but there are few reports about the endocrinology of induced spawning in this fish. in the present study, 54 individuals of female broodstocks of kutum were studied for quantity and quality of propagation index, during march and april 2007. hormone treatments include: lhrh-a2 (1 ?g kg...

Body composition and fatty acid profile of the body tissue of Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) fish larvae were determined from fertilized egg to 50 days post hatching (dph). Feeding with rotifer started from day 3 to day 7 thereafter they were fed with dry food until the end of the experiment. The changes observed in lipid content and the decrease in lipid levels during larval ontogeny ref...

in this study, growth and survival of the caspian whitefish, rutilus frisii kutum, (mean weight 0.59±0.06g) have been estimated at different rearing salinities (0, 5 and 10‰) and temperatures (24 and 28˚c). maximum fish weight gain (493.65±14.07%) and specific growth rate (sgr) (2.74±0.15%), and minimum feed conversion ratio (fcr) (1.66±0.06) were obtained at salinity of 5‰ and temperature of 2...
