“…Eggs of lake sturgeon were collected from two naturally ovulated females captured on spawning grounds below Eureka Dam on the Fox River, Wisconsin. Gamete collection, insemination and egg deadhesion procedures were similar for both species (Doroshov et al 1983), and carried out in fresh water of 13-15°C.…”

“…These two species were abundant and commercially important in the past century but their numbers and harvest have dramatically declined due to overharvesting, pollution and dam construction (Harkness & Dymond 1961, Miller 1972. Recent investigations have shown that temperature is an important factor in the success of the artificial propagation of sturgeon (Binkowski & Czeskleba 1980, Doroshov et al 1983. Understanding the environmental requirements, specifically temperature and how it effects development, growth and survival during the early life history stages, is essential for the successful hatchery management of sturgeon.…”

SynopsisThe effect of constant incubation temperatures (between lo" C and 26" C) on the developmental rates was found to fit a similar exponential relationship in both the lake and white sturgeon embryos and larvae. Although the lake sturgeon had an overall slower rate of development than the white sturgeon, no statistically significant difference was detected in the slopes of the exponential equations describing the effect of temperature on developmental rate. The effect of these incub'ation temperatures on embryonic survival also did not differ between these two species. Both species exhibited optimal survival between 14-17" C and incipient mortalities occurred at 20" C. Temperatures above 20" C were lethal for white sturgeon embryos. No effect of low incubation temperature on survival was evident from this study. A comparison of these North American species with Eurasian acipenserids suggests that all the Isturgeon that have been examined exhibit a similar influence of incubation temperature on developmental rate.

Effect of ration and body size on the energy budget of juvenile white sturgeon

Growth and energy budget were measured for three sizes (2·4, 11·1 and 22·5 g) of juvenile white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus held at 18·5 C and fed tubificid worms at different levels ranging from starvation to ad libitum. For each size-class, specific growth rate increased linearly with increasing ration, and conversion efficiency was highest at the maximum ration. Growth rate decreased with increasing fish size at the maximum ration, but increased with size at each restricted ration. Conversion efficiency increased with increasing ration for each size-class and was usually highest at the maximum ration. Faecal production accounted for 3·2-5·2% of food energy. The proportion of food energy lost in nitrogenous excretion decreased with increasing ration. With increases in ration, the allocation of metabolizable energy to metabolism decreased, while that to growth increased. Fish size had no significant effect on the allocation of metabolizable energy to metabolism or growth. At the maximum ration, on average 64·9% of metabolizable energy was spent on metabolism, and 35·1% on growth.1996 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles

“…In Subsection 5-3, the effects of treatment using SSP suspension on eliminating egg adhesiveness and hatching rate in Japanese siveness in order to improve the hatching rate in osmerids. Previous studies have reported methods to eliminate egg adhesiveness with mud in Japanese dace (Triborodon hakonensis) (Nakamura 1962) and with river silt in white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) (Doroshof et al 1983). Egg adhesiveness is lost when the adhesive portion of the egg is completely covered with mud or silt just after artificial fertilization.…”

“…In intensive egg culture using jar incubators (Fig. 35B), the egg adhesiveness is eliminated with a tannic acid solution treatment just after artificial fertilization (Waltemyer 1976) to prevent clumping of adhesive eggs, which causes high mortality accompanied by suffocation and fungal growth (Doroshof et al 1983). Adhesive proteins on the inverted adhesive membrane lose adhesiveness by treatment with tannic acid, which has functions in coagulating proteins.…”

anadromous and stream-resident types. The anadromous type migrates to the ocean in spring after spending 1 or 2 years in the streams. Before the seaward migration, they undergo smoltification, a series of behavioral, morphological, physiological and biochemical changes controlled by multiple hormonal pathways (Hoar 1988) that transform the freshwater parr into a seaward-migratory smolt. After 1 year of life in the ocean, the fish return to their natal stream in spring and spawn in autumn (Kubo 1980;Machidori and Kato 1984;Kato 1991). For the artificial propagation of masu salmon, hatchery-reared (hatchery) juveniles, originating from artificial insemination and fed a commercial food in hatcheries, are released into streams (Mayama 1992). Effects of masu salmon propagation, which are expressed as the recovery rate of released hatchery seed, are of 0.41 to 2.12% (Miyakoshi 2006), while the recovery rate of chum salmon artificial propagation was >10% (Taya 1989). In other Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Research Institute Fisheries Research Department Local Independent Administrative Agency Hokkaido Research Organization 3-373, Kitakashiwagi, Eniwa, Hokkaido 061-1433, Japan e-mail: mizuno-shinya@hro.or.jp Abstract Anadromous salmonids and osmerids are artificially propagated in Japan by release of their seeds. However, there are many unsolved problems in the techniques of their propagation. In the present monograph, studies on the improvement of seed production techniques in 4 fishes (masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou, chum salmon O. keta, shishamo smelt Spirinchus lanceolatus and Japanese smelt Hypomesus nipponensis) were outlined. Techniques to evaluate dorsal fin pigmentation during smoltification as an external seed quality, and to improve seed quality of hatchery-reared fish, and the discovery of metabolic problems in hatchery-reared fish were described in yearling masu salmon. In underyearling masu salmon, techniques to evaluate nutritional conditions using kidney melano-macrophage density was developed, and applied to the evaluation of the nutritional condition in hatchery-reared fish after release. In chum salmon fry, the development of techniques to monitor the physical condition and to find its appropriate culture conditions was reviewed. In egg cultures of shishamo and Japanese smelt, techniques to eliminate egg adhesiveness with treatments of kaolin or scallop shell powder suspension were established in order to improve hatching rates. In addition, the appropriate embryogenetic stage for the release of shishamo smelt embryos was demonstrated. Consequently, this monograph reveals that these techniques contribute directly to the development of artificial propagation in some salmonids and osmerids.
