  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Juvenile Atlantic sturgeons&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Acipenser oxyrinchus&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;produced by hormone‐induced spawning of wild broodstock from the Hudson River, New York, were used in a diet study. Fish fed live&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;sp. as first‐feeding fry for 35 d were observed to convert readily to formulated diets. At 79 d posthatch, four formulated feeds were offered: sturgeon starter 9304, Biokyowa, Zeigler esocid diet, and Tunison sturgeon starter. At the end of 60 d, fish fed Biokyowa had the greatest growth and best feed conversion (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;≤ 0.05). Feed conversions were significantly different between all treatments, indicating wide variability in growth response to the diets tested. Proximate analyses of diets showed Biokyowa highest in protein (59.43%) and dry matter (97.28%).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
