“…Currently, most sturgeon species are fed salmonid starter feeds (Jodun 2004, King 2004, Ware et al 2006, Kolman 2008, but these did not produce the desired results in Atlantic sturgeon. Similar observations were reported for larval white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus Richardson, among which were noted individuals with slow growth rates and various body deformations (Hung et al 1987).…”

Abstract. The aim of this experiment was to assess the impact live and formulated diets had on the growth and survival of larval Atlantic sturgeon, Acipenser oxyrinchus Mitchill. In the first experiment, the results of feeding the fish decapsulated (group D) and undecapsulated (group ND) Artemia sp. cysts were compared. Increases in the body weights and lengths of the fish fed decapsulated and undecapsulated Artemia sp. were similar at values that were not statistically significant. Survival in the larval group fed undecapsulated Artemia was higher in comparison to the group fed decapsulated Artemia (95.0 and 82.8%, respectively). In the second experiment, three commercial starter feeds were used: Aller ArtEX (Aller Aqua, Poland; group A), Nutra HP (Skretting, France; group H), and Perla Prolarvae (Spa Hendrix, Italy; group P). Following 35 days of culture, no differences were noted in fish growth with lengths in the different groups ranging from 28 to 30 mm and weights from 119 to 134 mg. Fish survival in group A was 55% and was significantly statistically higher than that in groups H and P at 31.7 and 35.7%, respectively. The results of the experiment suggest that the best feed for the early stages of Atlantic sturgeon culture is undecapsulated Artemia during the beginning of exogenous feeding followed by an Artemia-based feed in the initial period of feeding with formulated diets.

“…The diets are modifications of the sturgeon purified diet (SPD-C) of Hung et al (1987), which were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isoenergetic using the metabolizable energy values developed for rain- bow trout by Smith (1967) (Table 1). Diets contained three different levels of available carbohydrate: high (HC) = 35% D-glucose; medium (MC) = 20% dextrin and 10% cellulose; and low (LC) = 23% cellulose.…”

Juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) were fed three isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets containing either 35% D-glucose (HC), a mixture of 20% dextrin and 10% cellulose (MC), or 23% cellulose (LC), to investigate the effects of dietary carbohydrate on liver function. After 8-week feeding, body weight gain of fish fed the HC diet was consistently higher than that of fish fed the MC and LC diets, but was not significantly different from the MC-fed fish. Fish fed the HC diet had significantly (p < 0.05) higher feed efficiencies and liver glycogen concentrations than fish fed the MC and LC diets. Sturgeon were injected intravenously with 10 mg kg(-1) body weight of sulfobromophthalein (BSP) and post-injection blood taken from the caudal vein at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. No significant differences in plasma BSP concentrations were found among the treatments at these times. Plasma hemoglobin and activities of aspartate and alanine aminotransferase were not affected by the diets. This study suggests that the HC diet does not adversely affect liver function or weight gain. Inclusion of high dietary levels of digestible and inexpensive carbohydrates in commercial sturgeon feeds seems promising, but long-term feeding trials should be conducted to confirm this assertion.

“…Although the direct comparison of commercial diets is not widespread in nutritional aquaculture research, there are some published studies that have used this approach (e.g., Maage etal. 1989;Lee & Litvak 1996;Hung et al 1998;Satoh et al 2003;Fülberth et al 2009). Independent testing of commercial diets used in aquaculture is important for farm managers and those carrying out environmental impact assessments of farming operations, and can also highlight areas where diets can be optimised and research is needed.…”

A study was undertaken to provide data on growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and faecal discharge of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) fed three commercial diets used previously to culture this species in New Zealand. Fish were raised in tanks from 0.4 to 1.2 kg over the spring (water temperature 14-17°C) and summer (17-22°C) periods. There were considerable differences in volumetric and mass-specific feed intake, and energy intake amongst diets. Daily crude protein intake was similar amongst diets, although it increased from the cold (4.05-4.50 g protein kg -1 day -1 ) to warm period (6.48-7.67 g protein kg -1 day -1 ). The biological and economical FCR varied with diet (BFCR 1.22-2.17, EFCR 1.30-2.62), as did the cost of feed per unit biomass produced (NZ$2.38-3.78 kg -1 ). Growth rates were broadly similar amongst diets, and the warmer summer temperature period greatly improved both growth (increase from 0.51-0.64% to 1.18-1.23% mass gain day total nitrogen (T N) and total phosphorus (T P) output compared with Skretting NME, which was in turn only half or less of that of Reliance SF
