In this research we investigated the effects of Lactobacillus delbrueckii during three life stages of Acipenser persicus (stage 1: from beginning of exogenous feeding, stage 2: fingerlings with initial body weight of 10 g and stage 3: juveniles with initial body weight of 144 g) on growth performance, feeding and survival. In stage one, Artemia nauplii were enriched with probiotics and used as food for Persian sturgeon larvae for 15 days. Shift from live food to dry feed was programmed in seven days followed by rearing until day 30 with dry feed. In stage two (for one month) and stage three (for two months) probiotics were added to dry feed and delivered to fish. At the end of the stage one values of total length, total weight, weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) of fish fed non-enriched Artemia nauplii (treatment 3) were significantly more than rest of the treatments. Values of total length, total weight, weight gain and SGR of fish fed co-feeding regime (treatment 4) were significantly higher than rest of the treatments at the end of the stage one. Growth performance and survival of experimental fish showed no significant differences amongst the treatments in stage two. Values of total weight, weight gain, SGR and survival of fish fed probiotic supplemented diet were significantly higher than control group in the stage three. It is advised to feed the juvenile fish for at least two months with probiotic supplemented feed in order to improve the growth performance and survival.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the single and combined effects of dietary probiotic with prebiotic on growth performance, non-specific immune response, body composition, digestive enzymes activity and intestine bacterial flora of sobaity fingerling (Sparidentex hasta). For this purpose, 425 individuals of sobaity fingerlings were prepared with an average weight of 7.64 ± 0.3 g from the Mariculture Research Station of South Iranian Aquaculture Research Center. This study was carried out in a completely randomized design with four treatments and three replications (45 fish per each replication) in fiberglass tanks with 300 liters volume. Fish were fed with feed containing 0 (control group), 106 CFU probiotic per gram feed (treatment 1), 0.5 and 1 percent prebiotic plus106 CFU probiotic per gram feed (treatment 2 and 3) at 4.5 percent of body weight for a period of 42 days. At the end of the experiment, body composition, intestine, blood, plasma and mucus samples were collected. The obtained results indicated that dietary prebiotic and probiotic did not change growth performance, intestine bacterial flora and non-specific immune response of sobaity (P > 0.05). Nonetheless, plasma bactericidal activity of control group was significantly higher that treatment 3 (P < 0.05). Moisture and protein content of treatment 2 showed significant different compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The results of this study showed that digestive enzymes activity including alkaline protease, amylse and lipase affected by administration of dietary prebiotic and probiotic (P < 0.05).
