Description
Summary:Siberian sturgeon farming is important because it provides an alternative source of caviar and meat, but also for the conservation of the endangered natural stocks. Farmed fish is continuously subjected to stress factors, of which, water temperature is considered a major one (Schram et al., 2006). It has been demonstrated that physiological stress may have serious negative consequences on growth (Wendelaar Bonga, 1997) and that fish larvae appear less tolerant than adults to temperature variations (Stefanovich et al., 2016). The present study aims at investigating the stress response and development in precocious stages of siberian sturgeon when subjected to different rearing temperatures, by analysing ontogeny, growth and stress response of yolk-sac larvae. This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of the University of Milan (OPBA_20_2016). Fertilized Siberian sturgeon eggs were reared at 16°C, 19°C and 22°C until complete yolk-sac absorption. Sampling timepoints were: hatching, schooling and complete ... : International Journal of Health, Animal Science and Food Safety, V. 4, N. 1s (2017) ...
