General remarks
Perca fluviatilis is a percid species that inhabits Eurasian inland and coastal waters and has been introduced in inland waters worldwide. The production of P. fluviatilis has emerged over the past decades while important biological processes of the species are not known yet. P. fluviatilis is a strong predator in the wild, and as such, an aggressive and cannibalistic fish in captivity – a constraint that is not properly prevented in farms yet. In fact, prey FISHES (e.g., roach, Rutilus rutilus, topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva or other small cyprinids species) are added in monoculture systems to satiate the predatory nature of P. fluviatilis. It is also susceptible to stress and malformations in captivity. Tanks or raceways will most likely not fulfil space needs in intensive conditions. The biggest knowledge gap is on humane slaughter practices for this species. Further research is needed on both natural behaviour and physiological effects of farming practices in order to provide recommendations for improving fish welfare.
1 Home range
Many species traverse in a limited horizontal space (even if just for a certain period of time per year); the home range may be described as a species' understanding of its environment (i.e., its cognitive map) for the most important resources it needs access to.
What is the probability of providing the species' whole home range in captivity?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as tanks, RAS, and some ponds do not cover the whole range in the wild. It is medium for high-standard farming conditions, as other ponds at least overlap with the range in the wild, although we cannot be sure in most age classes. Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence, as further wild information is missing in LARVAE, FRY, and JUVENILES.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
2 Depth range
Given the availability of resources (food, shelter) or the need to avoid predators, species spend their time within a certain depth range.
What is the probability of providing the species' whole depth range in captivity?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as cages, ponds, and tanks do not cover the whole range in the wild. It is medium for high-standard farming conditions, as ponds overlap with the range in the wild. Our conclusion is based on a high amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
3 Migration
Some species undergo seasonal changes of environments for different purposes (feeding, spawning, etc.), and to move there, they migrate for more or less extensive distances.
What is the probability of providing farming conditions that are compatible with the migrating or habitat-changing behaviour of the species?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as the ANADROMOUS strain undertakes more or less extensive migrations, and we cannot be sure that providing each age class with their respective environmental conditions will satisfy their urge to migrate or whether they need to experience the transition. It is high for high-standard farming conditions given the resident strain. Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
4 Reproduction
A species reproduces at a certain age, season, and sex ratio and possibly involving courtship rituals.
What is the probability of the species reproducing naturally in captivity without manipulation of these circumstances?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as the species is manipulated (hormonal manipulation, stripping) and may be taken from the wild. It is high for high-standard farming conditions, as natural breeding with farm-reared IND is possible and verified for the farming context. Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence, as further research is needed on reproduction behaviour in the wild.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
5 Aggregation
Species differ in the way they co-exist with conspecifics or other species from being solitary to aggregating unstructured, casually roaming in shoals or closely coordinating in schools of varying densities.
What is the probability of providing farming conditions that are compatible with the aggregation behaviour of the species?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as densities in tanks and some ponds go beyond the minimum density in the wild. It is high for high-standard farming conditions, as densities in other ponds potentially cover the range in the wild. Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
6 Aggression
There is a range of adverse reactions in species, spanning from being relatively indifferent towards others to defending valuable resources (e.g., food, territory, mates) to actively attacking opponents.
What is the probability of the species being non-aggressive and non-territorial in captivity?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as the species is aggressive – even cannibalistic – in almost all age classes. It is medium for high-standard farming conditions, as ways to reduce (but not avoid) cannibalism (size homogeneity, reducing densities) are verified for the farming context. Our conclusion is based on a high amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
7 Substrate
Depending on where in the water column the species lives, it differs in interacting with or relying on various substrates for feeding or covering purposes (e.g., plants, rocks and stones, sand and mud, turbidity).
What is the probability of providing the species' substrate and shelter needs in captivity?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as almost all age classes of the species use substrate, but RAS and some ponds are devoid of it. It is high for high-standard farming conditions given a) hatching substrate for eggs, b) earthen ponds for JUVENILES and ADULTS which are not lined, and given b) natural reproduction with spawning substrate in ponds for SPAWNERS. Our conclusion is based on a high amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
8 Stress
Farming involves subjecting the species to diverse procedures (e.g., handling, air exposure, short-term confinement, short-term crowding, transport), sudden parameter changes or repeated disturbances (e.g., husbandry, size-grading).
What is the probability of the species not being stressed?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as the species is stressed (confinement, handling, husbandry). It is medium for high-standard farming conditions, as improvements are easily imaginable, but need to be verified for the farming context. Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
9 Malformations
Deformities that – in contrast to diseases – are commonly irreversible may indicate sub-optimal rearing conditions (e.g., mechanical stress during hatching and rearing, environmental factors unless mentioned in crit. 3, aquatic pollutants, nutritional deficiencies) or a general incompatibility of the species with being farmed.
What is the probability of the species being malformed rarely?
It is low for minimal farming conditions, as malformation rates may exceed 10%. It is medium for high-standard farming conditions, as some malformations result from conditions that may be changed (rearing environment, feed). Our conclusion is based on a medium amount of evidence, as improvement of the situation by adjusting conditions needs more proof.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
10 Slaughter
The cornerstone for a humane treatment is that slaughter a) immediately follows stunning (i.e., while the individual is unconscious), b) happens according to a clear and reproducible set of instructions verified under farming conditions, and c) avoids pain, suffering, and distress.
What is the probability of the species being slaughtered according to a humane slaughter protocol?
It is unclear for minimal and high-standard farming conditions, although percussive stunning followed by bleeding seems promising, but needs to be verified for the farming context. Our conclusion is based on a low amount of evidence.Likelihood
Potential
Certainty
Side note: Domestication
Teletchea and Fontaine introduced 5 domestication levels illustrating how far species are from having their life cycle closed in captivity without wild input, how long they have been reared in captivity, and whether breeding programmes are in place.
What is the species’ domestication level?
DOMESTICATION LEVEL 4102, level 5 being fully domesticated. Cultured since 1950 103.
Side note: Forage fish in the feed
450-1,000 milliard wild-caught fishes end up being processed into fish meal and fish oil each year which contributes to overfishing and represents enormous suffering. There is a broad range of feeding types within species reared in captivity.
To what degree may fish meal and fish oil based on forage fish be replaced by non-forage fishery components (e.g., poultry blood meal) or sustainable sources (e.g., soybean cake)?
All age classes:
- WILD: carnivorous and piscivorous, mainly zooplankton as JUVENILES, increasing proportion of fish with increasing age 49263282.
- FARM: limited application of fish oil replacements due to alterations in liver structure 104. JUVENILES: fish meal may be not 105 to partly* replaced by non-forage fishery components 106.
- LAB: FINGERLINGS: fish meal may be not replaced by sustainable sources 107. JUVENILES: fish meal may be partly* replaced by non-forage fishery components 108109110.
* partly = <51% – mostly = 51-99% – completely = 100%
Side note: Commercial relevance
How much is this species farmed annually?
954 t/year 1990-2019 amounting to estimated 8,000,000-12,000,000 IND/year 1990-2019 111.
Glossary
ANADROMOUS = migrating from the sea into fresh water to spawn
DOMESTICATION LEVEL 4 = entire life cycle closed in captivity without wild inputs 102
EURYHALINE = tolerant of a wide range of salinities
FARM = setting in farming environment or under conditions simulating farming environment in terms of size of facility or number of individuals
FINGERLINGS = early juveniles with fully developed scales and working fins, the size of a human finger
FISHES = using "fishes" instead of "fish" for more than one individual - whether of the same species or not - is inspired by Jonathan Balcombe who proposed this usage in his book "What a fish knows". By referring to a group as "fishes", we acknowledge the individuals with their personalities and needs instead of an anonymous mass of "fish".
FRY = larvae from external feeding on
IND = individuals
JUVENILES = fully developed but immature individuals
LAB = setting in laboratory environment
LARVAE = hatching to mouth opening
PELAGIC = living independent of bottom and shore of a body of water
PHOTOPERIOD = duration of daylight
RAS = Recirculating Aquaculture System - almost completely closed system using filters to clean and recirculate water with the aim of reducing water input and with the advantage of enabling close control of environmental parameters to maintain high water quality
SPAWNERS = adults during the spawning season; in farms: adults that are kept as broodstock
TOTAL LENGTH = from snout to tip of caudal fin as compared to fork length (which measures from snout to fork of caudal fin) or standard length (from head to base of tail fin) or body length (from the base of the eye notch to the posterior end of the telson) 76
WILD = setting in the wild
