... Pikeperch, Stizostedion lucioperca L., introduced into Lake Egirdir, in south-western Turkey, in 1955 grew well and formed the basis of an export fishery. Recently their size has declined and there are now so few of filletable size that the fishery has reverted to supplying purely local needs. Only 2 of the original 11 fish species are still found in the lake and this study examined the possibilit ...

Abstract:
... Juvenile pikeperch 3.66 ± 0.23 cm total length (TL) and 0.32 ± 0.05 g were reared in water at 22 ± 0.5°C and fed with live zooplankton or alternatively a commercial trout feed. Fish fed with dry diet grew faster and had higher condition factor than fish fed live zooplankton. Sex differentiation in pikeperch was visible at different stages of ontogenesis, but was related to the fish growth rate. Th ...
... To study the effects of different predators on the behavior and dynamics of their prey, we compared the performance of perch (Perca fluviatilis) and the abundance of their prey resource in four lakes with two different types of piscivory. In two of the lakes, perch were the only fish species present and piscivory was restricted to cannibalism. In the other two lakes, perch co—occurred with piscivo ...

Abstract:
... Chemical changes in pike perch (Sander lucioperca L Kottelat 1997), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss WALBAUM 1792) and eel (Anguilla anguilla L 1766) after hot smoking were investigated. Some differences in water, protein, lipid, ash and carbohydrate contents of the fish were established as significant (P < 0.01). The flesh productivity of fresh eel and pike perch was found to be very high. Diff ...
... Species undergoing ontogenetic diet shifts face a risk of resource competition that delays transitions between feeding stages. Such ontogenetic bottlenecks are common in piscivorous fish because competition with future prey may retard growth and prevent a size advantage. In pikeperch (Stizostedion lucioperca), year class strength of 0+ cohorts is highly variable and positively related to early ons ...

Two aspects are painted out: the first being the measurement of the economic value of ecological services, and the second being the integration of economic aspects into comprehensive indicator systems. The measurement of the economic value provides a means of determining consumer-orientated ...
... The ability to discriminate between more dangerous and less dangerous predators can have serious fitness advantages for fish juveniles. This is especially true for hatchery-reared fish young used for stocking, because their post-release mortality is often much higher than that of wild-born conspecifics. We tested whether two coexisting fish predators and their different diets induce innate behavio ...
