The objective of this study was to estimate growth and mortality parameters of the Pike perch population (Sander lucioperca, Linnaeus, 1758) in the Danube River (kmD 197 – kmD 170) and to assess the effects of fishing on this stocks. This study was performed on 175 specimens of pike perch caught in 2015.The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships: length – weight (L - W), to estimate the growth parameters (von Bertalanffy) L∞, k, and the mortality rates (Z, M, F) for the pike perch population. The relationship between length – weight (L – W) found isW=0
