For the first time in the country, the researchers of the National Inland Water Aquaculture Institute in collaboration with the experts from the Gilan Department of Fisheries in line with the implementation of the Sander lucioperca farming research project have succeeded in Sander lucioperca farming under captive conditions (fiberglass tank) with handmade feed. The importance of Sander lucioperca farming includes: 1. Production of protein and increasing the diversity of cultured fish. 2. Attention to indigenous, economically important and cultivable species of fish. 3. The suitable temperature for Sander lucioperca farming is in the range of 20-25 °C in Gilan province. According to the executor of the Sander lucioperca farming project, Dr. Mohammad Sayad Burani, the research associate of the Iranian Fisheries Science and Research Institute, the project began in June 2018 with an average fish weight of 2.6 grams. At present, the fish (fed exclusively with concentrate and handmade feed) have reached to the average weight of 400 grams (with the maximum weight of 1 kg). It should be noted that the implementation of this project can be useful for introducing indigenous species to aquaculture industry of the country and supporting the cage fish farming. The study showed that Sander lucioperca is a cultivable species of fish in enclosed conditions. The program of the National Inland Water Aquaculture Institute – Gilan for the year ahead is to produce 3,000 fish with the average weight of 100 g to be introduced into pilot cages located in the Caspian Sea. In this regard, the reproduction and production of Sander lucioperca began in March 2019 and will last until March 2020.
