Pikeperch is a piscivorous freshwater fish which occurs in eastern and central Europe. It may grow reasonably old, to over 20 yrs, as well as reach a mass of over 10 kg. Pikeperch mature at 3-5 years of age as well as spawn in shallow water, often 2-5 metres deep, in the spring as well as in early summer. The spawning site is in an aggressive manner guarded by the adults until the eggs have hatched.
Fish-traps are used to catch pikeperch generally during the ice free season in summer. These traps vary in size, constructing something as well as mesh-size. The traps are set at the extent downward less than 5 metres. The fish get caughted in the part which is generally known as fish house as well as this is taken up to the surface along with emptied by the fishermen.For example, Pike-perch is a favorably valuable commercial food fish, in both Finnish as well as European markets, which has a good potential for diversifying local aquaculture production. Research efforts during by a period of 10 years have had the aim of developing often used as a combining form of culture methods for this species. In some Asian countries, pilot-scale often used as a combining form of production of pike-perch for taking food into the body through the mouth has already started.

Pike-perch kept in captivity condition requiring relief to hormonal treatment to reach maturity. Pike-perch fish may spawn naturally into special spawning nests and striped eggs can be artificially fertilized.
