Comparison of growth and diet of juvenile perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) in ponds

Perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) are currently identified as suitable species for intensive aquaculture. Intensive pond farming in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Austria) where these two species is used primarily for breeding and production of larval and juvenile stages, which then adapt to the conditions of controlled recirculation systems or used to produce blends for free water. The goal of my work will make the successful rearing of larvae of pikeperch and perch in a monoculture in pond conditions
