Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch A Hatchery Manual

About this book

The work summarizes the current knowledge regarding the controlled reproduction of an emerging aquaculture species, the Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis). It describes and explains the principles of most of the controlled reproductive protocols leading to obtain high quality larvae in great detail. Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch is primarily intended to be used as a hatchery manual by practicing aquaculturists and laboratory technicians working with this species. On the other hand, it also summarizes the scientific background of the methods applied, therefore, it can serve as a reference for the state-of-the-art in the controlled reproduction of Eurasian perch and other freshwater percid species.
