Abstract
The aim of the present study is the production of stocking material of European catfish (Silurus glanis L.) using common carp larvae (Cyprinus carpio L.) as natural food source. The experiment was carried out in two earthen ponds (№18 and №19). The stocking material was produced through semi-artificial reproduction of European catfish and natural reproduction of common carp in two stages. The main aquaculture production indicators of the stocking material of European catfish and common carp were calculated: growth (WG, g), survival (%), total yield (kg) and average yield (kg/1000 m2). The obtained results show that the growth of European catfish in pond №19 is 69.67 g, while in pond №18 it is 58.91 g. Also, the survival rate in pond №19 is 2.8 times higher than in pond №18. After analyzing the obtained results, it can be concluded that the production indicators of the European catfish stocking material are higher in experimental pond №19.
