Current Status of Eurasian Percid Fishes Aquaculture

  • Chapter
Biology and Culture of Percid Fishes

Abstract

This chapter presents the actual status and the perspectives of development for Eurasian perch and pikeperch in different countries, mainly in Europe (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Czech Republic and Hungary) but also in Iran and Tunisia. For each country, main culture techniques are summarized and production types are specified, according to the local or international markets.
