| Summary: | The evolution of the ammonia excretion has been monitored for the siberian sturgeon during a fasting period. This excretion quickly decreases for various weight classes, and then reaches a constant level. The results seem to show that the sturgeon basal metabolism is very weak and that food alone is resonsible for the existence of a nychteremal cycle. / L'évolution de l'excrétion d'ammoniaque a été suivi chez l'esturgeon sibérien pendant une période de jeûne Pour différentes classes de poids, cette excrétion décroît rapidement pour atteindre un niveau constant. Les résultats semblent indiquer que le métabolisme basal de l'esturgeon est très faible et que l'alimentation est seule responsable de l'existence d'un cycle nycthéméral. |
