Danube Research-Consulting Ltd., as a high standard sturgeon production farm in Romania, wants to collaborate in this project to take advantage of the existing expertise in UDJ Galati in order to improve their farming technology in sturgeon culture by implementing new and innovative methods and techniques for restricting the pathologies in fish culture (focusing on prevention), reducing the losses and increasing the productivity. In the aspiration to maximize the economic production, the economic agent apply a high storage densities in fish culture which conduct to stressful living conditions that overwhelm the physiological adaptation mechanisms, with direct consequence in reducing the fish resistance to illness. Starting from the premise that, in aquaculture, it is easier to prevent a disease than to fight with, especially in a crowded fish population,the studies conducted in the recent years by the team of researchers from the Department of Aquaculture of UDJ Galaţi highlighted the importance of ensuring the welfare of fish biomass by using phytobiotics. We studied the effect of different phytobiotics on growth performance, the state of technological comfort and biochemical profile of Oreochromis niloticus species and some sturgeon species. The results of these research recommend the addition of phytobiotics in feed in order to obtain higher yields due to the increased growth; improving the meat quality fish; improving the physiological status and the nonspecific immunity. This development strategy of the economic agent is correlated with the national strategic development plan for Aquaculture and Fisheries sector that recognize the technological optimization of the cultured fish with high economic valueas prior action. The estimated impact as a result of successfully project ongoing consists in increasing the profitability level in aquaculture activity of the economic agent by improving the growth performances of the cultured sturgeons.
