Thematic English-language bibliography on the pecularities of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca Linnaeus, 1758) reproduction and first stages of its ontogenesis

Purpose. To create a general bibliographic list of English-language scientific publications devoted to the peculiarities of pikeperch (Sander lucioperca Linnaeus, 1758) reproduction in natural and artificial conditions using various technologies as well as to briefly highlight English-language professional sources, in which the main attention is paid to the specifics of pikeperch development in the first stages of ontogenesis — starting from embryonic development and ending with the age-0+. Methodology. An interdisciplinary approach was used to create this thematic English-language bibliography. Its was based on the practical application of the principles of analytics and systematics. In turn, the limits of applicability of the latter were outlined by holistic and selective methods. The actual bibliographic core consists of sources that are found in the vast majority on the Internet, mostly with free access to the full texts. Findings. A thematic bibliography of 149 English-language sources is included. All of them are placed in alphabetical order by author or title and are drawn in accordance with the requirements of the State Standard of Ukraine (DSTU 8302:2015 “Information and documentation. Bibliographic reference. General provisions and rules of compilation” with amendments — UKND code 01.140.40) and the most common international standard (APA style). The absolute majority of the mentioned sources were published in the last 25 years in well-known international journals(«Aquaculture International», “Aquaculture Report”, “Aquatic Research”, “Biologia”, “Czech Journal of Animal Science”, “Ecology of Freshwater Fish”, “Fish Physiology and Biochemistry”, “Journal of Applied Ichthyology”, “Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems”, “North American Journal of Aquaculture”, “Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences”, etc.). Practical Value. The presented thematic English-language bibliography can be used in educational, research, organizational and other types of activities related to the reproduction and preservation of aquatic living biological resources in Ukraine and in other countries of the world. The sources given in it will deepen and supplement the knowledge of scientists and producers regarding the peculiarities of reproduction and ontogenesis of pikeperch at the stages from gastrula to the age-0+.
