Scoliosis (lateral curvature of the spine) is a
health problem that is encountered in fishes. Swimming ability of fishes
diagnosed with scoliosis is limited and therefore malnutrition occurs.
Consequently, some health problems may encountered in these fishes. The aim of
this study was to determine to what extent fishes diagnosed with scoliosis are
affected from this disease by developing a grading method that can conduct
physical measurements of scoliosis detected in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii Brandt, 1869). Our
study was carried out on 34 scoliotic Siberian sturgeons obtained from a
commercial fish farm, 61.3±9.7 cm in length and 694.9±15.2 g in weight. According to this method that we
have created to measure the degree of scoliosis in Siberian sturgeon, 1°-18.9°
was defined as presence of scoliosis, 19° and above was defined as severe
scoliosis. In the measured scoliotic
fishes, were detected presence of scoliosis in 14 fishes (41.18%) and severe
scoliosis in 20 fishes (58.82%).
