The comparative investigation of growth performances and survival in Persian sturgeon Acipenser percicus Borodin, 1897 larvae fed with three treatments containing Acartia, Artemia and Daphnia

Nowadays the production of resistant larva with high survival and desirable growth is so important in aquaculture industry. Due to the fact that larvae’s digestion is not completed after the absorption of yolk sac, the alive food should be used in this step. In this investigation, the Iranian Acipenser percicus larva growth and survival in 3 treatments feeding on 3 alive foods, Caspian Sea Acartia, Artemia and Daphnia were studied and each treatment in 3 replicates were done during 14 days. Experimental larval feeding results showed significant difference in final weight indicators, survival rate, food conservation ratio, gain weight percentage, specific growth and daily growth (p
