By
Rose Fisher Merkowitz-

Aquaculture farmers interested in yellow perch production techniques have the opportunity to attend an Ohio State University perch workshop on April 10. 
 


The Perch School will take place from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. at OSU South Centers at Piketon, 1864 Shyville Road, Piketon, Ohio. Registration is $30 per person and includes lunch. Registration deadline is April 2. Registration after April 2 is $50. Space is limited. 
 

The event is hosted by OSU’s Center for Aquaculture Research and Development, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and Ohio State University Extension. 
 

The workshop will focus on production techniques used in yellow perch aquaculture including: brood stock conditioning, spawning, egg incubation, fry stocking, live feeds, and fertilization regimes for fry ponds. The day will be spent in a combination of classroom-style presentations in the morning, with several hands-on breakout sessions in the afternoon.  
 

The course is for 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 production.
