O. Schlumberger et Jp. Proteau, REPRODUCTION OF PIKE-PERCH (STIZOSTEDION-LUCIOPERCA) IN CAPTIVITY, Journal of applied ichthyology, 12(3-4), 1996, pp. 149-152
A natural controlled spawning of pike-perch is suggested as the prevai
ling method providing good results in terms of embryo survival and fry
production. Techniques of hormonal induction combined with water temp
erature manipulation are progressively developed. The eggs are most co
mmonly incubated with the 'nest', or in Zug jars in the case of artifi
cial fertilization. The larvae are then transferred into specific cont
ainers for their yolk absorption. The success rate from egg to free-sw
imming fry is 60-70%.
