- Abstract
Biochemical profile is, along with water quality, an indicator for fish welfare assessment, revealing their level of stress. For establishing blood biochemical profile there were taken blood samples from female and male sturgeons by caudal vein puncture with ventral point of election. Determinations were made with 8008 Vettest device and interpretation of results was done according to reference values in the literature. The obtained results (increased alanin aminotransferase - ALT and alkaline phosphatase, decreased glucose and magnesium), shows that sturgeon welfare in the farm is medium.
