Dietary Phospholipids Requirement for Beluga Sturgeon (Huso huso) Juveniles
TL;DRAbstract
A study was carried out to determine the influence of dietary phospholipids (PL) levels on growth, body composition, haematology parameters, biochemical factors and immune parameters of beluga sturgeon (Huso huso) juveniles. Juveniles were fed formulated diet with four varying dietary levels of PL i.e. 0 (D1), 2 (D2), 4 (D3), and 6% (D4). At the end of the experimental period (56 days), the results showed that there were significant differences (P<0.5) among treatments in growth performance. Fish fed diet containing 4% phospholipids obtained the best weight gain and percentage survival (P<0.05) with values of 70.3 g and 76.7% respectively. However, there was no significant difference (P>0.05) was found for feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), and lipid efficiency ratio (LER). Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed in moisture and protein composition in fish among all treatments but however, the inclusion of phospholipids in di
