The process of breeding sturgeon does not require any special knowledge or skills from you, you just need to acquire good equipment and conduct business responsibly. Modern innovative technologies significantly help make life easier for the farmer, and if you invest well in the purchase of the necessary equipment, you can save some money on the wages of hired workers who will service the farm. In any case, the decision is made by the entrepreneur himself, based on the size of the start-up capital.

Business registration

You need to be prepared for the fact that breeding sturgeon is a troublesome business and there will be no profit at all for about a year and a half. It's connected with long period growth of the fish and only after it reaches a certain age will the fish begin to work “for you”. Until this point, you should take the time to register an entrepreneur.

To be able to run your own business, you first need to contribute your subsidiary farm with the OKVED code of the list of permitted activities in the register and obtain permission from Rosprirodnadzor. After paying the necessary fees and providing documents, the entrepreneur receives the right to conduct legitimate business on growing sturgeon and selling it.

Business profitability

Many aspiring entrepreneurs are interested in whether growing sturgeon at home is profitable and whether the business will bring profit. Let's carry out simple calculations: to get a ton of fish for sale, you need to buy about one and a half thousand fry, the price of each of which is 10-12 rubles.

In total, the cost of purchasing young animals is about 15-20 thousand rubles.
Fish food, lighting and heating costs for the entire period of growing fry will cost about another 100 thousand, so the cost of a kilogram of fish is 120 rubles.
Restaurants and various kinds of shops are ready to purchase sturgeon at different prices (400-500 rubles/kg), so the net profit in the end will be at least 300 rubles.
This is 300 thousand rubles per year if you sell at least 100 kilograms of meat per month.

A novice businessman should be prepared for the fact that sales volumes will be somewhat lower at first, but overall there is room for improvement.

You can hire auxiliary workers for your farm, whose main responsibilities will be monitoring the cleanliness of the water in the pools, cleaning and feeding the fish (if this process is not automated), as well as sorting the grown fish. If you have a room of up to 30 square meters, on it you can annually grow 2-3 tons of sturgeon per year and at the same time spend no more than a couple of hours on work every day.

Farm arrangement

The technology for growing sturgeon is relatively simple, but there are several mandatory stages in creating a business:

selection and purchase of containers for growing fish;
purchase of all necessary materials and equipment, purchase of feed;
obtaining permissions from veterinarians and sanitary and epidemiological stations;
purchasing sturgeon fry, caring for fish, feeding and cleaning the pond;
sales of products.

Since there is no point in organizing a whole farm to begin with, you can only make a small container with water into which to put the fry. A depth of only a meter is sufficient, and a pool diameter of 2-2.5 meters is suitable.

The entrepreneur gets the opportunity to maintain such a pool on his own, so there is no need to spend money on wages maintenance personnel and rent of a large plot of land for a swimming pool. You can further reduce labor costs by purchasing automatic fish feeders.

Conditions for growing sturgeon involve populating pools at the rate of 1 sq. meter for 50 kg of fish. The main difficulty at the stage of creating a business is that it can be difficult to obtain fry.

Initially, you can buy specialized food, and then learn how to prepare it yourself. A prerequisite is that it must contain a balanced amount of fats, phosphorus, protein and other useful components. As soon as the fry reach a weight of about half a kilogram, they can already be sold to restaurants and stores.

Necessary equipment

First of all, you need to find a room with an area of at least 50 square meters, install electricity, water supply and sewerage. Then buy the following equipment for growing sturgeon:

fish feed dispensers. The best choice– automatic, because they save effort and time on feeding fish;
pumps for pumping water in the pool. They should not work at full capacity, as they break down very quickly. Therefore, it is so important to select them correctly according to technical specifications;
oxygen generators, which also come in several types and have different prices. They provide vital oxygen to the fish, so you need to invest in these devices;
sterilizers and filters, which will purify the water in the pool from debris, fish waste and particles of uneaten food. This also needs to be given a lot of attention. dirty water in the basin - a direct road to the death of the entire sturgeon population and financial losses;
measuring instruments which will allow you to control water quality;
maturation incubators fish roe and hatching larvae. But here it is important to decide from the very beginning whether the sturgeon will be sold and raised in an incomplete or full cycle. If it is incomplete (fry are purchased and when they reach a certain age they are immediately sold to stores), then an incubator will not be needed.

Feeding the fish is carried out only with high-quality food, because this directly determines how quickly the fish will grow and whether it will be healthy. You can buy expensive foreign brands if the amount of starting capital allows, purchase local food, or prepare it yourself.
