         Work package 4 - Optimization of broodstock management using a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamultifactorial approach

Starting date: Month 4 Ending date: Month 21
Name of the partner responsible: UHP
Person-months per partner: Piscival (6), Esox (12), FUNDP (3), UHP (34)

Objectives
The main objective of this WP is to identify and to grade the effect of the main factors affecting fish reproductive performances using an integrative multifactorial approach and integrating variables of breeder welfare and gamete and larval quality.

Description of work

* control of main environmental factors
* effect of environmental factors on the reproductive performance
* effect of non-environmental factors on the quality of the reproduction

Deliverables
At the end of the 1st year (progress report), optimal environmental conditions for pikeperch breeders held in recirculating systems will be determined, based on the results of the multifactorial experimental design. Final report will propose recommendations for optimising broodstock management, including breeder characteristics, environmental and feeding conditions.

Expected results and relevant corresponding milestones
This workpackage will permit to define the main breeders characteristics and management conditions allowing an optimization of the reproduction performances and larval quality.
