ABSTRACT

Within 17 September – 31 October 1997, fry of the Russian × Siberian sturgeon hybrid of 31.1 g mean individual weight and sterlet fry of 25.4 g mean individual weight were fed two trout feeds: the Dana–ex 4.85 and the Safir differing, i.a., in their gross energy content (5470 and 5173 Kcalˇg^–1, respectively), each feed being offered in triplicate. The fish were kept in cages, stocked at 80 ind./cage, placed in power station cooling water of temperature changing within 12.2–23°C. Water temperature–dependent differences in fish growth were revealed: the hybrid grew better at 19–23°C, while the sterlet growth was better at 12–18°C. In both fish groups, the Dana–ex 4.85 produced better food conversion rate (FCR) and apparent net protein utilisation (aNPU).

Key words: sturgeon, feeding, cooling water, cage..
