Funded Project #3 - Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture
(funded project 3)
Description
The third Yellow Perch Funded Project. Chaired by Terry
Kayes
Objectives:
- To compare weight gain, survival, feed conversion,
proximate composition, and protein retention of selected
northern, southern, and Great Plains strains of yellow
perch.
- Evaluate survival, growth and feed conversion of yellow
perch raised at various loadings or rearing densities in
selected flow-through and pond culture systems.
- Evaluate the efficacy of using chemicals that block
meiosis to induce triploidy in yellow perch, and compare
the survival and growth of triploids produced in this
manner with that of normal diploids.
