Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #1

Project

Description

Objectives:

  1. 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 temperatures.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
