Introduction of rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) during pikeperch first feeding

Results suggest that the most favorable diet during larval pikeperch first feeding is a mixed diet (rotifers/artemia). This feeding method can significantly increase efficiency of pikeperch larval culture on a commercial scale. Yet, more accurate weaning protocols of this diet during the first 12-17 dph need to be developed to further improve larval performance.
