In order to satisfy the current increase of human fish consumption, aquaculture is rising along with the necessity of supplying diversified products of high quality. In this context, the domestication of the Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis opens out with in parallel the necessity to understand the multifactorial determinism of the quality building. Today, consumer’s quality reference is wild fish. Indeed it is widely believed that wild fish acceptability is greater than that of farmed fish. So one question of fish farmer is to know where their products are to be placed in comparison with wild fish. Within this framework, the objectives of this work are i) to describe the quality attributes of farmed perch by considering different rearing contexts (extensive versus intensive), ii) to precise how the quality of farmed fish differ the one of wild fish and also iii) to determine the environmental factors which operate on the quality construction. For that, several quality attributes are taking into consideration: global appearance of perch (morphology and colour in both whole fish and flesh), different technological parameters and also nutritional traits.
