Applications of a Bioenergetics Model to Yellow Perch (Perca flavescens) and Walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum)

Abstract: A simple energy budget equation is developed to yield a bioenergetics model designed to simulate fish growth. Parameters for the model are estimated from the literature for application to yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and walleye (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum). Simulations are presented that demonstrate model output as functions of body size, activity level, ration level, food quality, and environmental temperature. Sensitivity analyses identify the importance of food consumption, activity, and excretion as … Show more

“…This hypothesis is supported by the observations of KARAS and THORESSON (1992) for P. fluviatilis in natural conditions and of HOKANSON (1977) and KITCHELL et al (1977) for P. flavescens, who showed a maximum food consumption of perch between 23 and 28 °C. A problem that may arise at high temperatures is an infestation by Heteropolaria sp.…”

“…The observed FBW in TC max and TC was significant lower than the predicted FBW. The over-estimation in the feeding chart by the bioenergetics modeling in present study could be due to the following errors and needed to be improved in the extended studies: 1) Errors are from the function of energy content and body weight (Kitchell et al, 1977;Stewart et al, 1983;Cui and Wootton, 1989). 2)Errors are from the prediction of growth by specific growth rate in energy.…”

“…The individual perturbation method of sensitivity analysis (Kitchell et al, 1977;Bartell et al, 1986;Cui and Wootton, 1989;Liu, 1998) was used to assess the sensitivity of the output of the bioenergetics models of the variations of the parameters used. Single parameter values were changed by a constant fraction, while the other parameters remained fixed.…”
