Abstract

Selenium is an important trace element for maintaining the fish health. This study aimed to investigate the effect of sodium selenite on survival, growth and some hematological factors relating to the red blood cells of Siberian sturgeon. Three hundred Siberian sturgeon with initial mean weight 10.0±0.5g were randomly distributed in five treatments with three replications and fed with different levels of sodium selenite including zero (control), 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 mg sodium selenite for eight weeks. The results showed that the sodium selenite supplementation significantly increased the final weight and daily growth coefficient of fish with the maximum values of 25.63±0.68 g and 1.22±0.07% d-1 in fish fed with 1.6 mg kg-1 sodium selenite (P<0.05). The feed conversion ratio was significantly decreased after eight weeks feeding with sodium selenite with minimum of 1.79±0.10 in fish fed with 1.6 mg kg-1 sodium selenite (P<0.05). furthermore, equal to or more than 0.8 mg kg-1 supplementation of sodium selenite significantly enhanced the hemoglobin content, hematocrit percentage, and red blood cells count compared to the control (P<0.05). In conclusion, findings of the present study illustrated that 0.4mg kg-1 supplementation of sodium selenite is the best level for maximizing the growth of Siberian sturgeon, while 0.8mg kg-1 sodium selenite supplementation provides the best response in the synthesis of blood cells.
