Beluga Sturgeon Feed Composition With Statistical Significance

A 5.5 KB dataset containing the proximate composition of formulated feed and processing by-products for beluga sturgeon (Huso huso). It was authored by Zabihollah Pajand and last updated in April 2026. The data includes mean percentages and standard deviations for nutritional components, with statistical annotations for differences between feed types.

Use Cases

• Compare mean protein, lipid, and ash content between formulated feed and various processing by-products.
• Assess variability in moisture or crude fiber content using the provided standard deviation values.
• Identify which feed types are statistically different (P < 0.05) for specific proximate components using the superscript annotations.

Strengths

• Data includes statistical significance indicators (superscript letters) for differences between feed types.
• Proximate composition values are presented as mean ± standard deviation, providing measures of central tendency and variability.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of samples or feed types.
• The exact number of rows, columns, and sample size is unknown, limiting reproducibility assessments.
• Temporal and geographic coverage for the underlying experiments is not specified.
