    Beschreibung: The effects of dietary protein levels were investigated on growth, carcass biochemical composition and apparent digestibility coefficient in Caspian trout, Salmo trutta caspius. The present study was carried out in a completely randomized design with five experimental diets containing five different dietary levels of protein: 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55%, and 15 fish per replication of each with an initial weight of 4.85 ± 0.45 g for 105 days. Average oxygen concentration and water temperature were 7.6 ± 0.68 mg L-1 and 17.7 ± 1.5 °C, respectively, throughout the experimental period. Significantly higher final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and condition factor were observed in the fish fed diet with 40 and 45% protein compared to those fed on the 35 and 55 % protein diets. Feed efficiency ratio in treatments fed 35 and 55 % protein were significantly higher than those of fish fed 40 and 45% dietary protein levels (P≤ 0.05). Crude protein content increased with the increasing dietary protein levels, whereas crude lipid and moisture composition decreased with the increasing dietary protein levels. Therefore, it can be cocluded that increased levels of protein in the diets for juvenile Caspian trout (Salmo trutta caspius) up to 40 and 45% improved growth performance, feed utilization parameter and economic aspect.

    Beschreibung: A feeding trial was conducted to examine the effects of dietary supplementation of lysine and methionine on growth, nutrient utilization and carcass compositions in beluga, Huso huso. Four experimental soy protein based diets D0 (without lysine or methionine supplementation), D1 (lysine supplementation alone), D2 (methionine supplementation alone) and D3 (both lysine and methionine supplementation) were fed to triplicate groups. 240 fish with an average weight of 144.6 ± 4.64 g were fed the experimental diets for 12wk. L-Lysine and DL-methionine were added to the diets containing 344 g kg-1 soybean meals at 22.02 and 12.94 g kg-1 of dry diet respectively. Significant higher weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, condition factor, feed efficiency ratio, whole muscle protein and protein apparent digestibility were observed in fish fed soya protein-based diet supplemented with both lysine and methionine than that of fish of other dietary groups. There were no significant differences among fish fed diet supplemented with either methionine or lysine. Growth performances, feed utilization, carcass composition and apparent digestibility coefficients of protein, lipid and dry matter of fish fed control diet was significantly lower than those of fish fed diet supplemented both lysine and methionine and supplemented with either methionine or lysine. It can be concluded that beluga, fingerlings effectively utilize the supplemental amino acids (L-Lysine at 22.02 g kg-1 dry diet and DL-methionine at 12.94 g kg-1 dry diet) in the diets containing 344 g kg-1 soybean meals for better carcass proximate compositions, growth performance and feed efficiency and utilization.

    Beschreibung: The effect of feed supplemented with L-carnitine at four levels of 0, 300, 600 and 900mg kg-1 on growth performance and body composition of beluga, H. huso, juveniles were evaluated in two separate trials. In the first trial, 180 juveniles (525±9gw) were fed with the test diet for a period of 71 days, and the trial extended to another 126 days in the second phase by randomly selecting 120 juveniles (870.7±32g) and rearing them with similar diets. All trials, in triplicates, were conducted in circular fiberglass tanks (200cm diameter, 40cm height).The fish were fed 4 times daily to apparent satiation. In the first phase, L-carnitine did not significantly affect mean final weight, feed conversion ratio (FCR) or specific growth rate (SGR) of the fish, however, the fish receiving 900mg kg-1 L-carnation showed better growth increment, SGR and feed efficiency (FE) than those in control group (p³0.05); neither did it significantly affect protein, lipid, moisture or ash as well as leptosomatic index (HSI) (p³0.05). The protein efficiency ratio (PER) was significantly affected by L-carnitine supplemented diet, particularly at 900mg kg-1(p£0.05). In the second phase, fish fed L-carnitine-supplemented diets produced significantly higher W2, SGR and PER than the control group (p£0.05), but HSI decreased significantly (P£0.05). At the end of the trial, the whole body composition of fish did not differ significantly among experimental treatments, but slightly reduced lipid content was observed at 600 and 900mg kg-1 L-carnitine (p£0.05).The results of this study indicated that supplementation of diets with 300-600mg carnitine kg-1 improved growth rate, feed utilization and stimulated protein-sparing effect in this species.

    Beschreibung: The effects of feeding frequency on growth rate, food conversion ratio (FCR) and survival in juvenile beluga sturgeon were studied through two phases of rearing. 360 beluga fingerlings with an average weight of 20.51 ±0.33g were reared through a period of 60 days in the first phase and about 180 fingerlings with an average weight of 77.55±1.18g were reared through a period of 95 days in the second phase in fiberglass tanks (500 L) with a water flow rate of 0.2 L/sec under similar conditions of rearing (dissolved oxygen, light, water velocity, etc.). Three different feeding frequencies were used for each phase (3, 5 and 8 times feeding per day) with three replicates. It was evident from the results obtained from the first experimental phase that with an increase in feeding frequency there was an increase in growth rate, weight increase percentage and specific growth rate as well as a decrease in FCR value. However no significant differences were observed in the three group,) studied (P 〉0.05). Whereas in the second phase of study significant differences (P〈0.05) were observed in the parameters studied (length, weight and FCR) in the third study group (with 8 times feeding per day) at the end of study period. We may therefore conclude that growth rate, nutritional uptake and social behavior of each fish species are dependent on its feeding frequency.

    Beschreibung: The objective of the present study was to determine the possible production of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) and Beluga (Huso huso) gynogen/triploids and also to determine the most appropriate type of thermal shock and the duration of induced shock after fertilization. Persian sturgeon and Beluga spawners were collected from Guilan's sturgeon catch stations and transported to the Shahid Beheshti sturgeon hatchery for artificial breeding and restocking programs. Ovulated eggs and sperms were collected based on common procedures in hatcheries. In order to separate the seminal fluids and dilute the milts, sperms were centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 20 min. and seminal fluids stored in refrigerator for further use. Sperm motility was investigated. In order to determine the best duration for radiation, the milt was diluted (1:9) with immobilizing solution. Samples of diluted milt were placed for UV irradiation (UV lamp model UVG-54, 254 nm, made by UVP America) for 0.5, 1, 1.5, 1.45, 2, to 5 min. The motility of radiated sperms and controls were examined under the light microscope and the motility curve was drawn. For application of thermal shock two types of heat shock (32, 34 and 37°C) and cold shock (0±1°C) were used for duration of 2.5 and 60 min respectively. Both thermal shock were applied at 12, 15, 18 min after fertilization. Four experimental groups were designed including; normal eggs as control group and sperms without UV thermal shock), gynogenesis (Sperm irradiated with UV and thermal shock were applied), triploid (thermal shock without radiation by UV on sperm) and haploid group (without thermal shock but using irradiated sperm for fertilization). Verification of the success of treatments was assessed using genetic analysis on sturgeon larvae and fingerlings. In triploids the total surface area, volume of cells and nucleus as well as chromosome number were determined. To identify a gynogenetic larva, microsatellite markers were used to analysis specific loci by using primers designed for lake sturgeon. The results were analyzed using SPSS, Excell software. To determine the significant levels between various parameters and comparison between controls and various treatments, one way of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used. Whenever the significant level was observed to determine its level a Duncan test were examined. Results of present study showed that the best duration for UV radiation on sperms of Beluga was 105-110 seconds. Average fertilization rate for control Beluga was 51%, while in heat shock group it was 2-5 % and in cold shock it was 44.6%. There was a significant difference in fertilization rate in cold shock group compared to heat shock group (P〈0.05), however no difference was observed between 32 and 34°C treatments. The average survival rate of larvae in control group was 51%, while in heat shock treatment (32 and 34°C) it was very low close to zero. However in cold shock treatment the results was better and hatching percentage of larvae was between 30 -35%. Triploid treatment showed better results than gynogenesis group. A minimum triploid larvae obtained from heat shock was zero but using cold shock, the maximum number of 170 specimen was harvested. There was no significant difference in the number of larvae obtained between 32 and 34° C treatments (P〈0.05). Although some difference was observed on large and small axes, surface areas and volume of red blood cells but no significant differences were observed between control and triploid groups (P 0.05). In the meantime, the chromosome number in triploid beluga was (3N=177±3) as compared to diploid 2N= 118±3, which indicated an extra set of chromosome (n=60) in triploid fish. Totally 26.6% of investigated fish was triploids. Microsatellite molecular markers clearly differentiate gynogenetic fish on the bases of allele inheritance of male and female parents, and were proven that this technique can clearly identify allelic inheritance of parents to offspring. In Persian sturgeon in compare to beluga a different results were observed. Heat shock (37°C) not present any positive results therefore has no application in induce gynogenesis on this species, also no significant difference was observed between 32 and 34°C treatment. Cold shock showed better results, especially when duration of UV radiation was adjusted to 105 seconds. Molecular analysis using microsatellite marker positively proved the gynogenetic offspring by counting the allelic inheritance. However Persian sturgeon as a tetraploid species (2N=240) has its difficulty on scoring the banding patterns. We highly recommend disomic primers application for allelic inheritance on gynogene Persian sturgeon.

    Beschreibung: Four experiments were conducted to study of production meat in reared beluga (Huso huso) with different diets. In the first experiment, A 19-week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate dehulled soybean meal (DHSM) as a fish meal (FM) replacer in juvenile beluga, of initial body weight 8.25±0.08 g (mean±SD) in triplicate groups, fed six isoenergetic (20.1 mJ kg^-1) and isoproteic (45% crude protein) diets, resulting in 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of fish meal protein being replaced by soybean protein. Growth performance was reduced significantly with the increasing of DHSM in the diets in the present study. In the next stage, triplicate groups of 315 fish averaging 300.25 ± 10.28 g (mean ± SD) were fed one of seven experimental diets for 14 weeks. Weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed effeciency (FE), protein efficiency of retio (PER) of fish fed 5%, 10% and 15% of soybean protein diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed 20%, 25% and 30% diets. Whole body protein, lipid, moisture content were unaffected among different treatments (P 〉 0.05). In the second experiment, A 2 × 4 factorial design was used to evaluate the dietary lysine and to determine the optimum dietary L-carnitine in sub-yearling beluga, reared in the indoor system. Twelve experimental diets were formulated and prepared to contain four lysine levels (0.75, 1.5, 2.25 and 4% diet) and two L-carnitine levels (300 and 600 mg/kg diet) at each lysine level. Fish averaging 23 ± 0.5 (mean±SD) were fed one of the experimental diets for 10 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, there were significant lysine and Lcarnitine effects (P 〈0.05) on growth performance and feed conversation ratio (FCR). These results may indicate that, weight gain (WG), FCR and protein efficiency ratio (PER) in fish fed diet containing 3% lysine and 600 mg L-carnitine/kg diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed control diet (P 〈 0.05). There were no significan dietary lysine and L-carnitine effects on glucose, cholesterol and haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, of fish fed different levels of lysine with 300 mg L-carnitine/kg diet, however, Hb concentration in fish fed diet containing 2.25% lysine and 600 mg L-carnitine/kg diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed control diet (P 〈 0.05). These results may indicate that the optimum lysine and the L-carnitine levels could be 2.25-3% and 600 mg L-carnitine, respectively in begga (8-300 4g), based on growth performance, feed utilization and hematological parameters. In the thired experiment, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary betafine and metionine interaction on the growth, feed efficiency, carcass composition and hematological index in juvenile beluga. Thirteen diets were formulated to contain four dietary metionine levels (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%), betafine (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2%) with equal ratio of metionine and betafine (0.5: 0.5, 1: 1, 1.5: 1.5 and 2: 2% diet) were fed to juvenile beluga (23± 0.5 g) in triplicate groups for 12 weeks in a indoor system. The results showed that no significant (P〉 0.05) differences were found in growth performance and feed utilization among the dietary betafine and metionine concentrations in beluga. Hb concentration of fish fed control, 1 and 1.5% metionine were significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets. FCR of fish was significantly improved by dietary metionine and betafine. FCR was lower (P 〈 0.05) in fish fed equal ratio of metionine and betafine (2: 2) diets than those in fish fed control diet. Based on above results, it is recommended that the diet for juvenile beluga, Huso huso (8-300g), should contain equal ratio of metionine and betafine (1.5: 1.5) diet, corresponding to 5.95 g/100 g of dietary protein for optimum growth, efficient feed utilization and whole-body protein content. A 17-week feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of dietary L-carnitine level in beluga, Huso huso. A total of fish averaging 1247 ± 15.6 g (mean ± SD) were randomly distributed into 18 fibreglass tanks, and each tank holding 10 fish was then randomly assigned to one of three replicates of six diets with 50, 150, 350, 650, 950 and 1250 mg L-carnitine kg-1 diet. At the end of 17 weeks of feeding trial, average weight gain (WG), feed efficiency (FE), protein efficiency ratio (PER) and condition factor (CF) of fish fed 350 mg kg^-1 diet were significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher than those of fish fed 50, 150, 950 and 1250 mg kg-1 diets. WG, FE, PER and CF of beluga fed 650 mg kg^-1 diet were also significantly higher than those of fish fed 50, 950 and 1250 mg kg^-1 diets. Whole body and muscle protein were significantly improved by the elevation of dietary L-carnitine level up to 350 mg kg^-1. Liver superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities of fish fed 350 and 650 mg kg^ -1 diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed 50, 950 and 1250 mg kg^-1 diets. The dietary Lcarnitine level of 350–650 mg kg^-1 diet could improve growth performance, feed utilization, protein-sparing effects of lipid, antioxidant defence system and reproductive success. Polynomial regression of WG suggested that the optimum dietary L-carnitine level was 480 mg kg^-1 diet. Therefore, these results may indicate that the optimum dietary L-carnitine could be higher than 350 but 〈650 mg kg^-1 diet in beluga reared in intensive culture conditions.

    Beschreibung: In this study Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) was applied to species identification of bester hybrids. Hybrids identification was performed by comparison of electrophoresis profiles with parental species. The simultaneous occurrence of diagnostic bands fixed in the parental species, genetic distance and identification and cluster analyses (UPGMA) allow a correct identification. We used 8 primer combinations (Eco+3, Mse+4) and a total of 250 bands (size range 40-1000 bp) were generated. Primer combinations of (E-AAT, M-CGAT) and (E-AAG, M-CGAT) produced diagnostic bands in hybrids and parental species. Moreover, the results of genetic identification showed that Bester hybrids are more similar to beluga (Huso huso) (0.68) in comparison with sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) (0.45).The results suggested that this technique could be suitable for precise identification of species and inter-generic hybrids like bester.

    Beschreibung: Reciprocal crosses betvveen Beluga and Persian Sturgeon in four treatments and three replications were conducted and reproduction metrics including number of eggs per gram, percentage of fertilization, and survival rate were assessed. Also, we measured 32 morphomeiric and meristic attributes of brood stocks, hybrids and controls. To compare the growth rate of hybrids and controls, fingerlings were grown for 18 months in 2000 liter fiberglass tanks and fed by pellets. During rearing period, 17 samples were taken in 15-30 days interval and total weight and length of the specimens were measured. Average weight and length, standard deviation, analysis of variance, Duncan test and Heterosis were calculated. We found a significant difference (13〈0.003) between numbers of eggs of Beluga (controls) in comparison with hybrid (6Beluga x Persian sturgeon) and between Persian sturgeon's eggs with hybrids (Y Beluga x dPersian sturgeon). However, no significant differences were found (P〉0.001) between controls and treatments in terms of fertilization rate (in stage 4 and 35), number and mortality rate of larvae during active feeding and final stages. Hybrid and control fingerlings showed different growth performances. After an 18 months rearing period, the highest growth was found in Beluga (975±10 grams), with hybrid of female of Beluga and male Persian sturgeon coming next (840±143 grams), hybrid of male Beluga with female Persian sturgeon being the third (681.152$1 grams). The slowest growth rate was seen in control Persian sturgeon with an average growth of 535.15±131 grams. Daily growth rate of hybrids produced from crossing of female Beluga with male Persian sturgeon was higher than control Beluga during second and third rearing period each taking six months. We observed significant differences (p〈0.05) in 31 morphometric and meristic parameters from a total of 32 attributes. The percentage of heterosis was variable, being -73.76 in early growth period and 0.79 at the final rearing stage with an average heterosis of -32.69. The hybrid produced from female Beluga and male Persian Sturgeon showed a very good o growth performance. However, with the inadequacy of female Beluga in the Caspian Sea and the priority of restocking Beluga, it is suggested that the hybrid production be conducted using male • Beluga and female Persian Sturgeon.

    Beschreibung: The goal of this study was to find a sex-specific DNA sequences in the male and female genomes of beluga (Huso huso), by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assays performed on pooled DNA samples. Of the 310 different primers was tested, 7 primers produced no band. The most likely possibility is that PCR conditions have not been suitable for these 7 primers. It is also possible that these RAPD primers did not find suitable binding position to generate fragments. A single band was produced by primer 295 (OPT -17) which was specific to the male DNA. Further analysis of individual male and female beluga demonstrated that this primer yielded a product that were in fact variable and reproducible, but were the result of variation in some individual males and females and not male-specific. Therefore, of the 4146 RAPDs scored, none were tightly linked to a sex-determining gene. The results support the idea that sex chromosomes are either not present or they weakly differentiated in the genome of beluga.

    Beschreibung: In order to evaluate the possible production of hybrids using two species of sturgeon; beluga (Huso huso) and Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus) a reciprocal crosses with three treatments and three replicates for each treatment was conducted. Reproduction normative including number of eggs per gram, fertilization rate, survival rate, and also 32 mophmetric and merestic parameters of parents, hybrids and control groups were compared. Genetic analysis of hybrid was conducted using two methods of cytogenetic (chromosome preparation) and molecular (microsatellite) techniques. Histological analysis was performed for sexual gonad development. The growth comparison between hybrids and control fish was conducted in fiberglass tanks for 18 months. Fish were fed using pellets and biometric measurements were carried out 17 times during the study period. Means, analysis of variance, standard deviation, Duncan s test and percentage of hetrosis were calculated using Quatro Pro and SPSS programs. Significant differences were detected between beluga controls and hybrids (male beluga x female A. persicus) and between A. persicus controls and hybrids (male beluga x female A. persicus) regarding number of eggs per gram (P 0.003). However no significant differences were detected between the control groups and hybrids regarding fertilization rate at the four celled and 35 celled stages, number of larvae produced, mortality rate up to the onset of exogenous feeding and the number of larvae surviving (P〈0.01). Growth rates differed in hybrid fish and fish in the control groups and highest weight increase at the end of the rearing period belonged to beluga control (975±10 g) followed by hybrids produced by crossing female beluga with male A. persicus (840±143 g), hybrids produced by crossing female A. persicus with male beluga (681.85±281 g) and lowest growth increases belonged to the A. persicus control group (535.15±131 g). Specific growth rate in the second and third six months of rearing in hybrids produced by crossing female beluga with male A. persicus was higher than those recorded in the beluga control group. Percentage of hetrosis was negative during the early rearing period (-18.93), however at the end of the rearing period offspring were superior to parents and percentage of hetrosis was 0.79. Comparison of 32 morphologic and merestic parameters showed significant differences between 23 parameters between beluga controls and hybrids and between 31 parameters between A. persicus controls and hybrids (P,0.05). The hybrids production was proved using the cytogenetic (chromosomal count) as well as microsatellite techniques. The number of chromosomes in hybrids was intermediate to the parents (2n=190 ± 9) and like all other sturgeon species, microchromosomes comprised more than 50% of the chromosomes. The chromosome number in hybrids was half the number of chromosomes in the parents (A. persicus 2n=258±4 and beluga 2n=118±3). With regard to the fact that the number of chromosomes in A. persicus is 4N and that in beluga is 2N the number of chromosomes in hybrids is 3N or triploid. DNA bands produced by PCR in parents and offspring showed genetic inheritance. Histological analysis of control fish and hybrids after 18 months of rearing showed that male and female cells were observed in hybrids that is a characteristic feature of impotent or sterile fish. However only one type of sexual cells were observed in fishes in the control groups (A. persicus and beluga). Results obtained from the present study show that the hybrids produced are triploid (3N) and histologically sterile. Also hybrids produced showed good growth. With regard to the scarcity of female beluga and the limitation in the production of beluga fingerlings, it is suggested that sturgeon hatcheries produce hybrids and thus meet the fingerling demands of sturgeon farms. Also considering that the hybrids produced are sterile they can be considered as a candidate for export for aquarium fish. With regard to the fact that the hybrids produced are a new species it is suggested that this species is named Belupars which is a taken from the names of the two parents Beluga and Persicus.
