o:5766 Slaughter yield and chemical composition of Siberian sturgeon reared in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) en Abstract: Sturgeon fish species are food fish of commercial significance in many countries. Sturgeon farming in Serbia is a relatively new branch of aquaculture, and sturgeon farming has been developing in the last several years. The objective of this study was to examine morphophysiological and slaughter characteristics and proximate composition of one-year-old sturgeons produced in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). Sturgeons were cultured in a RAS system nearby Novi Sad and were fed with commercial feed. Moisture content in fillets ranged from 75.63 to 77.91%, protein content from 18.06 to 18.89% and lipid content from 2.37 to 4.38%. The slaughter performance results are in agreement with those reported by various authors for different strains of sturgeons. Sturgeon species have potential to become an attractive fish in our aquaculture in terms of overall proximate composition and slaughter performance. 1552099 10.1088/1755-1315/854/1/012055 2024-10-22T08:50:14.117Z 44 yes 46 Dragana Ljubojević Pelić Miloš Pelić person Suzana Vidaković Knežević person Milica Živkov Baloš person Sandra Jakšić person Jasna Kureljušić person Nikola Puvača person 2021 application/pdf 646035 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:5766 no yes 16 70 1552253 2021 Proceedings of 61th International Meat Industry Conference (MEATCON2021), Zlatibor 854 1 012055 012055 2021
