Funded Project #1 - Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture
(funded project 1)
Description
The first Yellow Perch Funded Project. Chaired by
Terry Kayes
Objectives:
- Compare the survival, growth and feed conversion of
offspring from selected southern and northern stocks of
yellow perch, at different life history stages and at
different temperature.
- Evaluate the survival, growth and feed conversion of
yellow perch raised at various loadings or rearing
densities in selected flow-through and pond culture
systems.
- Improve the efficiency of using heat shock to induce
triploidy in yellow perch, and compare survival and growth
of diploid versus triploid perch raised to market
size.
