... Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus), also known as Baltic sturgeon, is considered extinct in German waters. Fish‐rearing for conservation purposes largely relies on classical hatchery technology focusing on traits like survival and growth in captivity but rarely focusing on subsequent life in the wild, lacking skills such as foraging or anti‐predation behavior. Predation is hence a major fact ...
... The continuous production of large numbers of high quality gametes is essential for aquaculture, particularly in candidate species, such as pikeperch, Sander lucioperca (L.). The common practice of year‐round reproduction is under suspicion of inflicting adverse effects on the quality of the gametes through the disturbance of endogenous rhythms. We hypothesized that such perturbation does not affe ...

Abstract:
... Pike‐perch (Sander lucioperca L. 1758) is one of the freshwater species caught by professional fishermen in the Netherlands. The species is also popular with sport fishermen. Little is known about its migration and rehabilitation in large river systems. The aim of the present study was to obtain data on the movements of pike‐perch in the Dutch large river systems and investigate when and how far i ...
... The aim of this study was to identify the potential for optimizing management of sperm quality during commercial reproduction of pikeperch Sander lucioperca. Sperm from different males is often pooled prior to fertilization or stored for short periods (hr) until ovulated eggs become available. A novel approach was applied to assess pooling effects by cross‐wise transfusion of sperm and seminal flu ...

Abstract:
... Three groups of seven pond‐cultured pikeperch males, held under controlled conditions of low water temperature and for a varying photoperiod were injected with 500 IU kg⁻¹ human chorionic gonadotropin. Following a latent period of 72 h, sperm was collected. Stripping was on 26 March (Group A), 21 April (Group B), and 13 June (Group C). Spermatozoa was obtained from 85% fish in group B and from 42% ...
... The objective of this study was to determine the fat and water‐soluble vitamins contents (A, E, D, K, B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, niacin, biotin, ascorbic, folic and pantethonic acids; in mg kg⁻¹ fresh weight) lost during frozen storage (−24°C) in time intervals of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 months. Studied species included: Liza aurata (golden grey mullet), Cyprinus carpio (common carp), Clupeonella cultriventris cas ...

Abstract:
... Growth parameters in pikeperch may be affected by several factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth and lengthâweight of pikeperch in a reservoir in southâwestern Spain and compare the results with previous published data. Age and growth are described for Sander lucioperca from the Alcántara Reservoir (southâwestern Spain) from March to October 2009. A total of 285 fi ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this study was to develop a fast, reliable and cost effective photographic documentation tool to complement identification methods on preserved material. We tested the applicability of a flatbed desktop scanner as an easy means to provide a voucher in form of a whole body image for further morphological analysis. Similar species of European perch and zander were included in the te ...
... In order to evaluate the phenotypic plasticity of introduced pikeperch populations in Tunisia, the intraâ and interpopulation differentiation was analysed using a biometric approach. Thus, nine meristic counts and 23 morphological measurements were taken from 574 specimens collected from three dams and a hill lake. The univariate (anova) and multivariate analyses (PCA and DFA) showed a low meris ...
... In this study trypsin-inhibitory activity of the seminal plasma of percid fish: perch (Perca fluviatilis, n = 22), pikeperch (Sander lucioperca, n = 5), Volga pikeperch (Sander volgensis, n = 7) and hybrid between S. lucioperca ([female symbol]) and S. volgensis ([male symbol]) (n = 11) was identified and measured. Comparison of profiles of anti-trypsin activity (APA) in blood and seminal plasma o ...
... A morphometric truss network system and meristic counts were used to investigate the hypothesis of population fragmentation of pikeperch Sander lucioperca among four major fishing areas in the Caspian Sea drainage. Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences between the means of the four groups for 20 out of 32 standardized morphometric measurements (27 truss, five traditional c ...
... Glutathione belongs to a vital intra- and extra-cellular protective antioxidant and is found almost exclusively in its reduced form. The ratio between its reduced and oxidized within cells is often used as a marker of cellular toxicity. The objectives of the study were to (i) determine both the reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and cysteine (Cys) in the sperm of the Acipenser baerii an ...
... Knowledge of the size-selectivity of fishing gear types is crucial to fisheries management and ecology. The gillnet selectivity of most freshwater fish is poorly known. We caught 694 individuals of eight widely-distributed freshwater fish species (seven cyprinids and the pikeperch, Sander lucioperca) with multi-mesh gillnets in Spanish reservoirs. The SELECT method was applied to fit four differen ...

Abstract:
... In the present paper we determined low molecular heavy metal binding protein called metallothionein (MT) in fish spermatozoa sampled from four fish species (Acipenser baerii, Acipenser ruthenus, Perca fluviatilis and Sander lucioperca). The spermatozoa samples were analyzed with differential pulse voltammetry DPV (Brdicka reaction). The average content of MT in the fish sperm was 0.64 ± 0.55 μ m. ...
