The article includes the results obtained in the growth experiments during the postembryonic development period of the North American sturgeon species Polyodon spathula. The experiments took place in the years 2020 and 2021. Sturgeon larvae aged 5 days old, obtained through artificial reproduction at SCDP Nucet, were stocked and raised until the age of 35 days in two variants, in concrete tanks (useful volume -120 m3 /tank), located in the pilot station intended for fish culture experiments from the SCDP Nucet gen...

This paper presents results of research on feeding behavior of paddlefish (Polyodon spathula, Walb. 1792), performed at the Fish Culture Research and Development Station Nucet, DпїЅmbovi?a, between 2002 -2007. The results confirmed the planctonofag character of this species. Paddlefish food consists primarily of zooplankton, insects and insect larvae, plant debris and detritus, identified in the intestinal contents.
