How Different Stocking Densities Affect Growth and Stress Status of Acipenser baerii Early Stage Larvae
In the present study, a multidisciplinary approach was used in order to evaluate growth, muscle development, and stress status in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii larvae at schooling (T1) and complete yolk sac absorption (T2), reared at three stocking densities (low, medium, and high). Larvae grow...
