Abstract

Decomposition of solids increases ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and phosphate parameters in aquaculture system and decreases dissolved oxygen and the quality of circulating water. Sustainable aquaculture with estimates of the amount of nutrients in culture system of fish can be provided to its purification. In this study, beluga fingerlings were introduced into 12 tanks with 80-liter water. During 55 days of the experiment, sturgeon was fed with 2% body weight at 4 times per day. 3 treatments containing densities of 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 kg​​/m2 were considered. Ammonia, phosphate, nitrite and nitrate parameters were not significantly different in densities of 2-3 and 3-4 kg/m2, and this difference was revealed in the density of 4-5 kg​​/m2 compared with lower densities. In this study, we can conclude that with a density of 3-4 kg/m2 beluga fingerlings for the critical parameters of the outlet water will be appropriate for reuse of water with its physical and biological purification.
