The effect of various diets on growth, survival, and the content of fatty acids (FA) in pikeperch, Sander lucioperca (L.), larvae was determined. During larval development (from day 5 to day 47 post-hatch), the fish were fed two commercial feeds - Bio Kyowa (BK group) and Aglo Norse (AN group) - and Artemia nauplii (A group). In Z group - larvae developed under natural conditions. The composition of fatty acids of both commercial feeds and Artemia nauplii satisfied the nutritional requirements of pikeperch larvae during their development. The A group larvae had a two-fold higher content of C 18:1 acid in comparison to the fish in the BK and AN groups. In the A group, polyunsaturated fatty acids comprised 26.07 percent of total FA content, while in the BK, AN, and Z groups it was 40 percent. The larvae fed the AN diet had the greatest capacity of hepatocytes and the greatest relative capacity of cytoplasm occupied by lipids
