In Vitro Fertilization

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch

Abstract

In this chapter the importance and theoretical background of in vitro fertilization technique is explained in detail. Definition of the factors affecting effectiveness of controlled fertilization are given which allows to provide practical recommendations that can be applied in scientific research studies as well as in the practice of commercial hatcheries.
