Individual and group annual rations of Russian sturgeon Acipenser gueldenstaedtii are calculated on the basis of models describing the energy balance and dynamics of the number of fish generations with natural mortality depending on age. The structure of the energy balance and its separate components were studied. It is shown that the greatest amou...
