The objectives of this project are to:

• Develop a growth curve for yellow perch fed purified and practical diets.
• Evaluate the effects of dietary lipids on growth, feed efficiency, and nutritional composition of fillets.
• Provide an indication of the essential fatty acid needs of yellow perch.

The objective of this project is to establish the current marketing status and potential for yellow perch products with wholesale and retail businesses in the seafood marketing channels in the North Central Region of the United States.

The objective of this project is to characterize perch effluent water quality from two different by similarly designed recirculating aquaculture systems.

The goal of this research is to purify and identify cell growth-promoting activity found in fish embryo extract.

• Evaluate the polyculture of yellow perch in cages with freshwater prawns in ponds.
• Evaluate the effect of culture temperature on growth and survival of yellow perch.

• Establish methods for the culture of fish primordial germ cells (PGCs)
