<p><span>Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) were determined for white sturgeons (</span><i>Acipenser transmontanus</i><span>) fed purified diets containing different carbohydrates. White sturgeons were fed, at a rate of 1.0% body weight!d, diets containing one of nine carbohydrates, and feces were collected by manual stripping following a 2‐week feeding period; chromium sesquioxide (Cr</span><sub>2</sub><span>O</span><sub>3</sub><span>) was used as an external indicator. The ADCs of carbohydrates, lipid, and protein were significantly affected (</span><i>P</i><span> < 0.05) by carbohydrate source. The ADCs of carbohydrates ranked as follows: glucose, galactose, and maltose > dextrin > fructose and sucrose > lactose and raw corn starch > cellulose. Inclusion of dietary fructose and lactose significantly reduced lipid digestibility (</span><i>P</i><span> < 0.05). Although protein indigestibility was significantly affected, all ADCs were greater than 92%.</span></p>
