Some features
business before opening his own business, it is recommended to get acquainted with all of its features.Sturgeon well that fish products in great demand, and problems finding outlets you definitely will not be.This may be the city restaurants, pet stores and fish stores.Another important point is that competition here, though not entirely absent, but there is an overabundance of this product.In fact, you can without any problems sell grown sturgeon.
You do not need large investments, since it is not necessary to start with a large number of fish.This may be a hundred or two hundred individuals.Nevertheless, it is not necessary to acquire fry.The reason is that since you have to wait 5-6 years until the females begin to spawn.Therefore, breeding sturgeon need to start with the purchase of mature individuals of 8 years.Since this type of fish is not particularly picky about the feeding and maintenance, the problem should not occur.
Choose room
In the first step you need to choose a place where you will breed sturgeon.This can be a room, an area of 30 squares.These dimensions are due to the fact that you will need to install a swimming pool.It is imperative to carry out the lighting, heating, sewage system and mount the file supply.If all of this is available, then you and no problems at all.
In the case of a power outage, you should have at least one working generator.Another important detail - the Siberian sturgeon does not tolerate stress, and is also a very timid fish, so make sure that the next was not noisy places, such as roads or public squares.The interesting thing is that the family of sturgeons are not very demanding on the light, moreover, an excessive amount of light is bad for fish in general.
How to choose the capacity
Here you have two options: raise fish in a pool or pond.Which one to choose, do your worst.But let's talk about everything in detail.On the first couple expedient breeding sturgeon in the basin.Suitable plastic container with a diameter of 2 meters and a depth of 80 centimeters.From this pool for the year, you can catch a ton of sturgeon.In addition, the availability of time and desire, you can build the capacity of their own.But there are a few small nuances.For example, fish of different weights should be in a separate pool.The classification is as follows:
- individuals up to 300 grams - a swimming pool with a diameter of 1.5 meters, 80 cm deep;
- sturgeon from 300 grams to 2 kg - the pool diameter of 2.2 meters, a depth of 100-120 cm;
- sorting capacity for larvae up to 5 grams.It is recommended to use a rectangular trays depth of 0.5 meters and a length of 2.2 meters.
But as the Russian sturgeon is not too fussy to the conditions of detention, allowed a small deviation from the norm.In any case, maintaining cleanliness and optimum temperature range of 2 to 27 is necessary.Also, once a month should be given a whole day to sort the fish.What you will learn a little later.
Features detention pond
If you like a novice businessman is possible to keep the fish in the pond, then it is better to act accordingly.You can save on equipment and provide fish comfort.But before you start the sturgeon must be completely drain the water, clean the bottom and cover it with lime.Then lime is washed away, and the pond filled with clean water.Next it can be started Russian sturgeon.Fish should be natural food, so plant the bottom algae, molluscs, worms, etc. either run.. All this must be done immediately after the cleaning of the reservoir.
Experts recommend to run the fish about 2 months after you fill the pond with clear water.During this time they will have time to grow algae and shellfish will be much more.Run fish must be in the warm season, it can be either late fall or early spring.Incidentally, in some cases (severe winters) is an issue of wintering.During cold weather, the fish is simply not cold, try to move it into the pool.
Siberian Sturgeon: especially feeding and care
This type of fish perfectly feels in cold water (below 13 degrees).This simplifies its withdrawal.It is worth noting that the sturgeon is not picky about food.However they should be well fed and timely.An important role is played by the frequency.For adult fish should be given a meal 4 times a day after measuring time intervals, ie, every 6 hours.Brits also need to be fed every four hours.This mode eliminates the occurrence of stress in the fish and the refusal of the meal.At the same time we must understand that the sturgeon fry should have is not the same as adults.In addition, the food must have an impressive weight and fall to the bottom.Obusovleno is that sturgeon in the wild feeds from the bottom.
As for the purchase of feed, here you have a few options.One of them - the use of foreign products, which is characterized in that the feed rate is high.But there are also domestic counterparts, are less expensive, but the CC and their slightly lower.Well, you can always make your own food.This QC Once you adjust.Do not forget that the speed set weight and condition of the fish as a whole depends on good nutrition.So if you want to Siberian sturgeon grow quickly and produce good offspring, we must create the right diet.The amount of crude protein should be at least 50%, and the raw fat is not less than 20%.
How to care for Malcolm?
to the mortality rate is within an acceptable range, you need to properly care for the fish.As noted above, the Russian sturgeon - the fish picky, but this does not mean that it is not necessary to change the water in the pool.If the water comes from the tap, install a carbon filter to remove chlorine.About 2 times a week remove 15% of water.
Each month you need to carefully check the fish.For large specimens should be deposited into a separate pool, and leave the fry to grow.Timely sorting out is very important.If time does not otsazhivayut fish, large fish will eat the smaller ones.For the first months of the business was profitable, it is recommended to purchase fry in specialized stores.So you can avoid many problems.Many entrepreneurs reduce mortality among fish by crossing the (hybrid).A striking example is the Russian-Lena sturgeons.
How profitable breeding sturgeon
The first thing that interested beginners business - profitability and payback period.Let's count on the order of all the items.According to statistics, 1 500-2 000 fingerlings can get a ton of sturgeon for sale.On average, one fry will cost 12-13 rubles, therefore, we will spend on the purchase of about 20 000.
addition is necessary to ensure the fish feed.It is advisable to make purchases for the entire period of growth that will cost about 70 thousand rubles.The amount spent by electricity may be different, as a rule, you should spend no more than 15 thousand rubles for the entire period.So our cost is 105 thousand rubles.Based on this, we get the cost price of approximately 105 rubles.For example, the Amur sturgeon is sold in fine restaurants for 500 rubles per kilogram.Hence we have a net profit of 395 rubles.Thus, for the year, you can earn about 400 000 rubles.But keep in mind that you have to constantly spend money on food, electricity, water, additional equipment, etc.
It is very important for a businessman!

few interesting details
One of the richest river in Russia - the Urals.Russian Sturgeon here is abundant.Nevertheless, it is forbidden to uncontrolled fishing.But to enter into a license for a ton of adult fish is not so difficult.Believe me, the money invested will be repaid with interest, as about 10 females you get more than spend.Of course, this will not happen at once, so you'll have to wait.
What else is worth recalling because it is that the fish tends to hurt.Often, the cause becomes contaminated water.Not to increased mortality, it is necessary to Russian sturgeon, whose photos you can find in this article was otsazhen from other species.
