objectives |

The general objective of this two-year
proposal is to improve and control egg
and larval supply and quality of pikeperch
by improving broodstock management and
nutrition. This comprises several specific
objectives:
| 1.
The set up of broodstock management
programme, including the comparison
of broodstock rearing conditions
as well as the development of all-season
spawning technology (year 1) and
reliable artificial propagation
methods (year 2) |
| 2.
The comparison of pikeperch eggs
and larvae from broodstock held
in ponds (extensive culture), cages
(semi-intensive culture) and tanks
in recirculating systems (intensive
culture) (year 1) |
| 3.
The improvement of broodstock feeding
and nutrition, aiming to produce,
from captive broodstock, eggs and
larvae of comparable quality than
those from wild broodstock (year
2) |
| 4.
The production of all-female population,
divided into two phases: production
of sex-reversed males (year 1) and
production of all-female juveniles
from the breeding of normal females
and neo-males (year 2) |
