COMMON CARP Oneida Lake Status: (Cyprinus carpio) Common • Present in Oneida Lake since the early 1900s • Large, bottom-feeding fish • Introduced from Asia as a food source Common carp drawing The largest members of the minnow family, carp can grow to Duane Raver, US Fish & Wildlife Service 30 inches long and may weigh as much as 60 pounds. They may appear silvery or grey when young but darken with age to an olive, bronze, or brown color with a yellowish underside (photos top and middle left). Carp have two whiskers on each side of their downturned mouths. They are primarily bottom feeders and eat plants, snails, worms, insects, and algae. Common carp were brought to New York as a food fish, and in 1831, escaped to the A large Oneida Lake carp Hudson River from a private pond in Newburgh. Carp were Barbels probably stocked in Bill Byrne Oneida Lake MA Division of Fisheries and Wildlife sometime after 1879. With its shallow embayments and abundant plants, the lake provides excellent habitat for these fish. They are currently the largest non-native fish by weight in the lake. Carp are a very popular sportfish in Europe, putting up a good fight Bighead and silver carp when hooked. Two more non-native species of carp are at risk of invading the Great Lakes. The bighead and silver carp (photos at left) Prepared by: present in the Mississippi drainage, are found below an electric barrier on a canal connected to Lake Michigan.

A Brief Diet Analysis of Common Carp and Channel Catfish by Brent Campos
A Brief Diet Analysis of Common Carp and Channel Catfish By Brent Campos Four mainstem nonnative fish, two channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and two common carp (Cyprinus carpio), were captured using hook-and-line during our research expedition down the Grand Canyon in March, 2005. The stomachs of the fish were removed and their contents analyzed. The two species of fish appeared to exhibit divergent methods of feeding, despite having very similar organisms in their stomachs. Catfish displayed a selective, possibly mid-water picking strategy, while carp appeared to be consuming benthic substrates with their prey. Figure 1. The 405 mm common carp with its abdominal cavity cut open. Note the large ovaries, which are yellow and grainy in appearance (photo: Chris Hammersmark). One common carp was caught near sunset in a small eddy near Bass Camp at river mile 108 on March 21. It was male, measured 370 mm standard length (SL) and exhibited spawning colors. Identifiable stomach contents included aquatic Coeloptra (beetles), one oligochete, many pebbles, and detritus, among other benthic inverts. The presence of numerous pebbles indicates this fish was probing substrates for food, as would be expected for this species. The second common carp was caught near the mouth of the backwater at river mile 137, which was at the separation point of the eddy that created the site’s sandbar. The carp was female, 405 mm in length (standard length), and displayed spawning colors. Her ovaries made up approximately 50% of her abdominal cavity by volume. Gut contents were comprised of 95% algae and 5% a mix of detritus and aquatic invertebrates.

We conducted an acoustic fine-scale tracking experiment from March to June 2017 to determine the common carp movement pattern and habitat use in the downstream area of the Pearl River. The eight tagged common carp were detected for 39.38 29.57 d, on average, with a total average detection ± period of 42.12 28.02 d. A general linear mixed model suggested they were detected more during ± the night than during the day. Common carp preferred habitats near the sandbar and riparian shallow habitats, as revealed by their movement tracks and habitat selection indexes. The general additive mixed model (GAMM) analysis of their shortest distances to riverbanks and depth indicated that they migrated to shallower riparian habitat more frequently during the night than during the day.

Aquaculture Research and Its Relation to Development in China
AQUACULTURE RESEARCH AND ITS RELATION TO DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA S.F. Li Shanghai Fisheries University, Shanghai, China E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT China has a long history in aquaculture that goes back 2500 years. However, key advances followed the artificial breeding of carp in the 1950s. This chapter focuses on the development from the 1980s to the present, discussing the major issues in the developments, current and future trends and challenges, and the roles of Shanghai Fisheries University and the WorldFish Center in addressing these concerns. STATUS Pond culture is the most important practice contributing to total aquaculture production from Dramatic development since 1980s freshwaters. Pond culture has an estimated share of 60 to 70 per cent of total freshwater aquaculture The history of fish farming in China goes back at least production, in which Taihu Lake area in the Yangtze 2500 years, and it has long held prominence in the River Delta and Zhong-Nan-Shuan area in the Pearl rich Chinese civilization. But it was only after the 1950s River Delta are the traditional centers of fish culture. that aquaculture has been rapidly developed. The Culture in open-waters (lakes, reservoirs, channels) and breakthrough in the artificial breeding of the silver carp, in paddies contributes most of the remaining output. bighead carp and grass carp achieved from 1958 to 1960 The most commonly farmed species are silver carp changed the traditional practice of collecting wild fry (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), bighead carp (Aristichthys from the rivers.

Historical Information on Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio) in Norway

Historical information on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Norway. Fauna norvegica 33: 13-19. The common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) is an introduced fish species in Norway over the past 300 years. Many attempts have been conducted in order to try to create self-sustaining populations, but the species is very rare. Several authors have asserted that carp was introduced by monks, but this is not documented. The first written reference to common carp in Norway is the often quoted information in Pontoppidan (1753). However, the oldest knowledge of common carp can now be dated back to about 1685. The first introduction took place in the Bergen area, western Norway. doi: 10.5324/fn.v33i0.1583. Recieved: 2013-04-17. Accepted: 2013-06-01. Published online: 2013-12-20.
