Abstract

The paper presents the analysis results of the body weight and length variability (body mass, zoological length, length up to the end of middle fin rays, fatness, mass-accumulation coefficient, growth), fish-productivity and gross-production in 4-year-old and 5-year-old Russian sturgeons ( Acipenser gueldenstaedtii , Brandt) cultivated in adapted ponds together with herbivorous fishes (grass carp ( Ctenopharyngodon idella ), silver carp ( Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ). The analysis helped to reveal some regularities about variability of 4-year-old and 5-year-old Russian sturgeons ( Acipenser gueldenstaedtii , Brandt) cultivated in artificial ponds adapted for carp breeding. The paper gives average values of body mass and length, variability characteristics, according to biological statistic parameters; analysis of absolute growth in different age groups of the Russian sturgeon cultivated at the pond carp farms. Gross-production values for 4-year-old and 5-year-old sturgeons are recommended to be taken as 337 and 450 kg/ga, correspondingly. It should be noted that 450 kg/ga is not considered as an ultimate gross-production value for the Russian sturgeon cultivated in the fish farms adapted for carp breeding.
