From 15 until 18 March the EPFC Core Group will gather in Switzerland. This to overlook the first 3 years work and to discuss the way to go in the future with this closed community. The first question concerning the future we want to answer during this workshop is what this group could mean for the producers and scientist in the development of a selective breeding program. Can we set up an selective breeding program for pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) and Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) and move forward together.
