Spirulina as a nutrient source in diets for growing sturgeon (Acipenser baeri)
The e⁄ciency of diets with the inclusion of Spirulina for Siberian sturgeon weaning has been tested. Three isoproteic and isoenergetic diets were formulated with an increasing level of Indian strain Spirulina (SP 40%, SP 50% and SP 60%); the diets were tested against a control diet without microalga...

The e⁄ciency of diets with the inclusion of Spirulina for Siberian sturgeon weaning has been tested.
