This experiment was studied in the International Sturgeon Research Institute. Growth and survival rates of A. persicus larvae produced from the same female breeder were studied through a period of 40 days. The larvae under study were fed formulated diets (Feed B=diet which was produced in the International Sturgeon Research Institute Feed C=diet which was imported from France Feed E=diet which was imported from Belgium) without going through a period of adaptation. The initial weight of larvae (mean±SD) in the experimental group was 121.7±17 mg and their final weight was 1181.4±216 mg. Fish showed normal distribution in terms of initial weight and length. The significant differences of growth and survival were observed among all experimental groups (P }, URL = {http://joc.inio.ac.ir/article-1-44-en.html}, eprint = {http://joc.inio.ac.ir/article-1-44-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Oceanography}, doi = {}, year = {2011} }
