European Percid Fish Culture (EPFC)

With this student grant EPFC-CG intends to help members who are companies to solve their bottlenecks in the production. At the same time students get the opportunity to obtain insights and experience during the research in the production process on a fish farm or another aquaculture stakeholders (technique or fish feed producers).

The time may come that Pikeperch can be ASC labelled. But first the input of pikeperch farmers is needed to assure the standards are pikeperch proof.

In beautiful Bern the Core Group members of EPFC had a meeting. First to evaluate the past 3 years of EPFC-CG and look forward to the coming 3 years. All present members could give their input on future EPFC-CG activities. Secundly, we learned, discussed and thought about selective breeding in percid fish and what could be the function of EPFC-CG in this.
