ABSTRACT

 

Bahmani M, Yousefi Jourdehi A, Pourdehghani M, Kazemi R, Hallajian A, Dejandian S., Maturation, propagation and physiology of farmed ship sturgeon (Acipenser nudiventris), Onl J Vet Res., 18(4): 377-390: 2014. The effects of farming brood stocking on maturation, propagation and physiological values of ship sturgeon (Acipenser nudiventris) is described. Groups of 6 males and 6 females aged 5 to 7 yrs were stocked in 40002 water fiberglass tanks. Males were fed vitamins without soybean and females soybean with vitamins. GnRH hormone was given twice by injection to females at a dose of 10 µg/kg BW with 20:80 ration and once to males at 20 µg/kg BW to induce propagation. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in testosterone levels between mature and immature males and females.  17α-hydroxyprogesterone was 0.10 ± 0.054 ng/ml and 0.03 ± 0.005 ng/ml in propagated, and 17β- estradiol (E2) 47.5 ± 1.91 ng/ml and 21.6 ± 3.02 ng/ml in immature females. Significant differences (P<0.05) were detected in albumin levels in immature and propagated females. Glucose, cortisol, cholesterol and triglyceride levels were not different between males and females.
