    Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii)

    Siberian stork Acipenser baerii

    The Siberian sturgeon comes from the rivers of Siberia and Lake Baikal. It is divided into three subspecies; The Acipenser baerii baerii from the Ob River (Western Siberia), the Acipenser baerii baicalensis, which comes from Lake Baikal and the Acipenser baerii stenorhynchus, which is native to the eastern rivers of Siberia.

    The sturgeon is not only a tasty food fish, but is also best known for producing caviar. The original Kavier comes from him. The production of the most valuable caviar, Almas, can take up to 30 years from rearing to harvesting.

    Each female can then carry 5 to 20 kg of caviar. Cavier is now mainly produced in Russia and Iran. The sturgeon can live for over 60 years, reach a maximum length of 250 cm and weigh up to 210 kg. The sturgeon, like the salmon, is one of the so-called other fish ( potamodromes ). During their spawning period between the ages of 11 and 19, the females lay their eggs in the main current of the water, where the water flows at a speed of 1 to 4 meters per second.

    animals can also be slaughtered for meat depending on their size.

    bd) Stocking densities according to regulations for organic aquaculture in the EU:

    15 kg/m³ brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)
    15 kg/m³ Coregonen (Whitefish Coregonus)
    15 kg/m³ trout (Oncorhynchus, Trutta)
    20 kg/m³ Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus)
    25 kg/m³ brown and rainbow trout
    20 kg/m³ salmon: brown trout (Salmo trutta fario), lake trout (Salmo trutta lacustris), sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
    10 kg/m³ milkfish (Chanos chanos)
    10 kg/m³ tilapia (Oreochromis sp.)
    10 kg/m³ Mekong catfish (Pangasius sp.)
     
    Quote : The prerequisites are compliance with the ban on deterioration of water quality (2) (in accordance with
    Directive 2000/60/EC European Water Framework Directives), as well as an oxygen saturation of at least 7 mg/L
    and a minimum inflow rate of 3 seconds liters per t of fish. Under no circumstances should the animals show injuries (e.g. to the fins) that indicate that the stocking density is too high. Tropical freshwater fish (e.g. milkfish Chanos chanos, tilapia Oreochromis sp., Mekong catfish Pangasius sp.): the stocking density in ponds and net enclosures (pens, enclosures) must not exceed 10 kg/m3 as an upper limit.
