	Silver Perch
		Silver perch broodstock are available from commercial producers in NSW and Victoria and should be held in earthen ponds for at least 7 months prior to the breeding season (Rowland, 1984).
		Silver perch can be stocked in farm dams at a rate of around 350 fish/ha (carrying capacity 200-500 kg/ha is reached in 2-3 yrs).

	Silver Perch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Bred extensively in the commercial sector and a popular warm water aquaculture and farm dam species, silver perch are stocked heavily in impoundments, especially in New South Wales and Queensland where it has gained a popular reputation for "disappearing" after a few years.
		Despite their reputation, silvers are caught in large numbers by bank anglers using bait, in many of these impoundments.
		Anecdotally, one effective method when boat fishing for silvers in rivers is to find a tree fallen in the river with most of its smaller branches and twigs intact and to drive the boat into it a few times to shake up the shrimp.

	White Perch/Fish of the Great Lakes by Wisconsin Sea Grant
		White perch have been found to eat the eggs of walleye (Stizostedion vitreum), white bass (Morone chrysops), other white perch and possibly other species as well.
		The collapse of the walleye fishery in the Bay of Quinte on the north shore of Lake Ontario coincided with the increase in white perch population and may have been a result of egg predation and the resulting lack of recruitment.
		Another concern is that white perch, actually a species of the bass genus (Moronidae), have hybridized with native white bass in western Lake Erie.

		Mr Heycock says some inexperienced fishers are having problems telling the difference between silver perch and callop and are making the mistake of keeping the protected silver perch.
		“Silver perch can be identified by the forked shape of their tail when compared to the rounded tail of the callop,” he said.
