Abstract: (332 Views)

Spirulina is a popular edible blue-green algae that has attracted attention in aquatic feed formulations due to its high concentration of micronutrients, macronutrients and antioxidants. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of Spirulina platensis on growth, blood biochemical indices and liver enzymes of Siberian sturgeon. For this purpose fish with mean weight (32.24 ± 1) and longitudinal mean (21.2 ± 0.51) cm were distributed in 12 fiberglass tanks with a density of 15 fish. During 56 days with three diets including with different levels of algae (Spirulina platensis) containing 0 (Sp 0), 2.5 (Sp 2.5), 5 (Sp 5) and 10 (Sp 10) percent as well, a diet done without any additives. Based on these results, the percentage of body weight gain, specific growth indices, average daily growth, feed conversion ratio, feed intake, obesity and protein efficiency coefficient (Sp 10) were significantly different from other treatments (P <0.05). Also, in the blood biochemical indices such as urea, total bilirubin, cholesterol and lipase no significant different were observed (P>0.05), but glucose and triglyceride significantly are showed (P <0.05).The highest glucose values and the lowest triglyceride levels were indicated in the (Sp10) treatment(P <0.05).Also no significant differences were observed in liver enzyme levels(ALT,AST,ALP) among the different studied(P>0.05).Overall, the impact of Spirulina platensis algae usage in aquatic nutrition is able to improve growth, nutrition, blood biochemical parameters and liver enzymes in a completely positive and meaningful.
