Effect of temperature on fatty acid composition of unfed Siberian sturgeon (A. baerii) larvae
The fatty acid metabolism in fish is influenced by various factors, including fish species, water temperature, water environment and diet supply. The aim of present work is to investigate the fatty acid composition of yolk-stage Siberian sturgeon larvae reared at three different temperatures. Fertil...
