This course is sponsored in part by Ohio State Unversity



Saturday, April 8th, 2006, the aquaculture staff members at OSU Piketon – South Centers will hold a one-day Perch School training course. The course will focus on teaching production techniques used in yellow perch (Perca flavescens) brood stock conditioning, spawning, egg incubation, fry stocking and fertilization regimes for fry ponds, and feed training techniques. The full day will be spent in a combination of class-room style presentations in the morning, with several hands-on breakout sessions for participants in the afternoon. The course is geared towards those who currently have aquaculture experience and are looking to improve their current yellow perch production practices, as well as any individuals who have interest in aquaculture and want to learn more about these aquaculture techniques for egg and fry fish production.
