Experiments were conducted to evaluate two types of live food for Russian Sturgeon larvae,
Acipenser gueldenstaedtii. Russian sturgeon larvae with initial weight 57.44±6.65 mg were transferred t
9 circular fiberglass tanks with a volume 50 liters and a density of 2 pieces per liter. The larvae were fed on
different diets: (A) Artemia urmiana nauplii, (D) Daphnia sp. and a mixture of 50% Artemia+50% Daphnia
(A+D) were fed, respectively. After a 28-day rearing period, the highest survival rate was obtained with the
larvae receiving mixture feed (A+D). Feeding of the larvae with Daphnia sp. resulted in a significantly
lower survival rate compared to the other groups. The obtained results showed that using a mixture of
Artemia urmiana and Daphnia indicated to the best growth and feeding parameters for
Acipenser gueldenstaedtii larvae
