In intensive rearing system, increasing fish stocking density is one way to optimizeproductivity. However, high rearing density is also a potential source of stress that mayconstrain fish growing capacity. The influence of stocking density on the growth ofAmur river sturgeon Acipenser schrenckii will be investigated in this study. Differnentgrowth stage of juvenile sturgeon will be reared in concret ponds with three stockingdensity. According the results of growth trials and changes of water qualities, theoptimal stocking density for culturing Amur river sturgeon will be recommended.5 - 11 *1046233872125*1046233872125 2003/02/26 12:31:12
