Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #4

Description

The fourth Yellow Perch Funded Project.  Chaired by Jeff Malison

Objectives:

  1.  To determine the commercial scale feasibility and improve on the best intensive tank and pond culture practices for the production of yellow perch fingerlings. 

  2.  To determine the commercial scale feasibility of raising food-size yellow perch in flow-through raceways or tanks, open ponds, and large net-pens, comparing the best available formulated diets.

Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #5

Description

The fifth Yellow Perch Funded Project.   Chaired by Jeff Malison

Objectives:

  1.  Continue to improve larval rearing techniques by developing and evaluating starter diets in relation to size at transfer to formulated feeds under selected environmental conditions.

  2.  Continue to improve pond fingerling production through examination of in pond feeding using physical/chemical attractants and improved harvesting strategies for different sized fingerlings from various types and sizes of ponds. Read more about Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #5

Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #6

(funded project 6)

Description

The sixth Yellow Perch Funded Project.   Chaired by Jeff Malison

Objectives:

  1.  With the goal of larval intensive yellow perch feeding in tanks from the onset of first feeding, continue to develop methods to produce fingerlings.

  2.  Increase growth rates of yellow perch greater than 150 mm (6”) by evaluating diets, feeding strategies, environmental manipulation, and mono-sex/bi-sex comparisons.

  3.  Develop out-of-season spawning methods for yellow perch. Read more about Advancement of Yellow Perch Aquaculture #6

Yellow Perch Recirculating Aquaculture Demonstration and Research Project

(funded project 7)

Description

The seventh Yellow Perch Funded Project.  Chaired by Don Garling.

Objectives:

  1.  Evaluate recirculating aquaculture technology to optimize yellow perch growth, performance (survival, health, feed conversion), and water quality considering such factors as feed management, water replacement, flow rates, and density.
