Abstract

Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) and pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) have been identified as candidates for production in aquaculture with the potential to deliver products of high quality and value and associated market acceptance. Current aquaculture production of these species predominately targets niche, premium markets, and its up-scaling is still limited due to several bottlenecks. This paper summarizes the most important and recent technological aspects and innovations regarding broodstock management, controlled reproduction, larval and early juvenile stages, nursery, and grow-out culture including methods for the improvement of growth and production in percid fishes. This review study also attempts to identify and outline further prospects and challenges for the future development of the percid aquaculture sector in Europe.
