Cultured Russian and Siberian sturgeons were processed and analyzed to estimate meat yields and proximate compositions. Sturgeons were approximately 18 to 24 months in age and weighed 2.3-2.6 kilograms (lower and upper intervals, 95% level of confidence) in total body weight. Dressed fillet yields in sturgeon appear to vary by species. The skinless fillet yields for Russian sturgeon and Siberian sturgeon were 26% and 32%, respectively. The proximate composition of edible portions in Russian and Siberian sturgeons may range from 70-76% moisture, 17-19% protein, 5-10% lipid, and 1-2% ash; some 116-151 calories per 100 grams of fresh, uncooked meat. However, the lipid content in Siberian sturgeon may be higher than in other sturgeon species.
