Book cover The Siberian Sturgeon (Acipenser baerii, Brandt, 1869) Volume 1 - Biology

Abstract

Sturgeon aquaculture grows fast with 465% increasing through 2003–2013. Unfortunately, there is no special culture system or nutritional requirements for these valuable species. Among 27 different sturgeon species, Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii is one of the best sturgeon fish for culture in different environments with high growth rate and adaptation to captivity. With growing Siberian sturgeon aquaculture, nutritional requirements at any life stage and culture condition should be considered. This chapter provides basic information and recent data on nutrient requirements of Siberian sturgeon to illuminate the way for sturgeon aquaculturists, feed factories, and researchers to improve and provide appropriate specialized feeds for the fish. Hence, this chapter is focused on macro- and micronutrients, feeding practices, and starvation effect of Siberian sturgeon.
