Resumo

The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect sorting had on the effectiveness of rearing juvenile pikeperch in recirculation systems. The fish were reared in three groups - small specimens (grou pS-a verage body weight (BW) 28.5 g), large specimens (grou pL-B W 49.6 g), and unsorted specimens (group U - BW 38.8 g). After eight weeks of rearing, the average specific growth rate (SGR) for fish from group S was significantly higher than for those from the groups U and L (P 0.05). Thus, it appears that the sorting of juvenile pikeperch does not improve the rearing effectiveness for this species. 1
