A natural controlled spawning of pike‐perch is suggested as the prevailing method providing good results in terms of embryo survival and fry production. Techniques of hormonal induction combined with water temperature manipulation are progressively developed. The eggs are most commonly incubated with the ‘nest’, or in Zug jars in the case of artificial fertilization. The larvae are then transferred into specific containers for their yolk absorption. The success rate from egg to free‐swimming fry is 60–70%.
