application of ovaprim in artificial reproduction of eurasian perch, perca fluviatilis l. under controlled conditions

First-year overwinter mortality in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)

The importance of overwinter mortality of 0+ perch (Perm fluviatilis L.) in central European lakes was estimated using a stochastic simulation model. The probability of overwinter mortality of a perch co­ hort was calculated by using a model developed for yellow perch (P. flavescens Mitchill). Winter duration from a long-term data set and the length of perch at the end of the first year from fi...

Sperm characteristics in perch Perca fluviatilis L

Sperm production is a crucial factor for the potential reproductive success of males in many species (Nakatsuru & Kramer, 1982). Especially under strong sperm competition, higher sperm numbers in the ejaculates are likely to increase a male’s chance of fertilization (Parker et al., 1996). But sperm production is limited by physiological constraints, e.g. by testis size, which often depends on t...

Effects of geographic origin on growth and food intake in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) juveniles under intensive culture conditions

Survival, growth, and food intake of Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) juveniles from different stocks originating from various geographic regions of Europe were compared under the same conditions of laboratory-scale intensive culture. In Experiment 1, four stocks originating from Italy (I), southwest (SF) and northwest (NF) France, and Belgium (B) were examined at larval and early juvenile (i...

Evolutionary mechanisms of population divergence in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis L.). 2005

Ultrastructural features of hepatocytes in cultured Eurasian perch ( Perca fluviatilis L.) as affected by nutritional and husbandry conditions.

A wide range of factors can be attributed to the syndrome of fatty liver observed in some cultured fish species. The objective of the study was therefore to quantify different hepatocyte ultrastructural features as potentially influenced by twelve nutritional and husbandry factors, in order to discriminate the most influent factors in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis), a typical carnivorous te...

Life-history Variation and Age at Maturity in Eurasian Perch (Perca fluviatilis L.)

Heibo, E. 2003. Life-history variation and age at maturity in Eurasian Perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) This thesis deals with life-history variation in perch, with special focus on age at maturity. We conducted field studies to uncover the variation within short geographic distances and a literature review to study variation on a large geographic scale in order to reveal some factors affecting lif...
