Abstract

The article presents materials on optimizing the conditions for growing pike-perch during the larval period of development in an artificially created environment. The problems associated with the complexity of embryonic and post-embryonic development, the transition of larvae from endogenous to exogenous food, their rearing on artificial feed, and the causes of cannibalism have been described. The goal was to obtain and analyze the results of growing pike-perch larvae in conditions of closed water supply using living organisms as starter feed. The results of a study of the reproduction of pike-perch in industrial conditions of the aqua complex of the Coastal Scientific Expeditionary Base “Kagalnik” of the SSC RAS (Rostov Region, Azov District) are presented, describes the results of rearing pike-perch larvae in a recirculating aquaculture system. The values of the main hydrochemical parameters of the environment in fish tanks, necessary to ensure the normal growth and development of pike-perch larvae, as well as the characteristics of growth and survival during the experiments, are given. As a result, biotechnical standards for the reproduction of pike-perch by the intensive method have been developed. For high survival of pike-perch larvae, it is necessary to ensure timely feeding of larvae – after filling the swim bladder and switching to active feeding. The diet should be varied in terms of species composition of zooplankton. To prevent cannibalism among farmed fish, it is important to maintain the hydrochemical parameters at an optimal level, and the presence of food organisms in the fish tank is also necessary.
