Book Description
Carp are the backbone of a growing aquaculture industry. They facilitate scientific progress as a model species in laboratories, cause concern for ecosystem managers as an invasive species, and mesmerize anglers as big game. In addition, ornamental koi carp fascinate hobby breeders. Biology and Ecology of Carp covers all these facets of this freshw
Genetics and Breeding of Common Carp

Pages : 108
Book Description
This book presents not only the different biotopes in which the common carp has settled, but also a thorough analysis of the phenotypic and genotypic traits of the various pigmented species. The different artificial selection and breeding methods will enable an optimum production of very resistant hybrids.

Molecular Genetic Studies on Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio)

Book Description
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio. L) is the world s oldest domesticated and arguably most important aquaculture species. The overall objective of this thesis is to advance the understanding of the genetics of common carp and with a special focus on little studied Vietnamese domesticated and wild populations. The first part of the study demonstrated that direct sequencing of variable mtDNA gene fragments has the potential to provide useful insights into the genetic diversity, origin, divergence and genealogy of carp populations. The second part using mtDNA sequences, examines taxonomic questions and evolutionary hypotheses focussing on samples originating from wild population from across Eurasia. The third and fourth parts of the thesis present an examination of genetic diversity in introduced and indigenous domesticated stocks and wild populations of common carp from throughout Vietnam using DNA direct sequencing, SSCP analysis of the mt DNA control region and microsatellite markers. The last part of the thesis presents a phylogenetic study of the taxonomic classification and relationship within subfamilies of the family Cyprinidae.
Carp Exclusion Screens on Wetland Inlets

Book Description
Carp screens are used in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) to prevent invasive alien common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. from entering wetlands, minimising their ecological impacts and denying them access to spawning habitat. The effectiveness of existing screen designs has not been evaluated, however, and little is known of their incidental effects on the lateral (instream-offstream) movements of other fish and aquatic fauna. This study investigates new screen designs that are based on carp morphology, with allowances for the lateral movements of carp and other species. The aims were (1) to determine the spatial and (2) temporal nature of lateral fish movements in the River Murray, South Australia, (3) to describe the location and design of existing carp screens across the Murray-Darling Basin, (4) develop new designs optimised to prevent the passage of sexually-mature carp, and (5) to compare and evaluate the new and existing designs. The spatial movements of fish between the Murray and six perennially-inundated wetlands were monitored using directional fyke nets set in wetland inlets from August to November 2006. Some 210,000 juvenile and adult fish from 18 species (14 native, four alien) were recorded over 13 weeks. The spatial movements of fish varied among wetlands, despite the proximity of the wetlands to each other, and showed no consistent directionality. This may have reflected the prevailing low-flow conditions (hence the absence of flow-related cues for movements), the virtually permanent connections between the wetlands and channel (maintained by weirs and other regulating structures) and the predominance of 'generalist' species with broad habitat requirements. Temporal movements generally were haphazard, but several small-bodied species increased in abundance over the 13 weeks, co-incidentally in response to increasing water temperature and day length. For most species, the balance of directional movements was from, rather than to, wetlands, possibly in response to falling water levels. Existing carp screens are concentrated along the Murray in South Australia, but are used throughout the Murray-Darling Basin. In a Basin-wide survey, 54 carp screens were located, including eight mesh designs and varied dimensions. Morphometric data (from fish captured in the lateral-movement study) were used to develop two new designs to exclude sexually-mature carp (44-mm square grid mesh, 'jail bar' mesh with 31.4-mm gaps). Up to 92% of carp captured in the lateral-movement study would have been excluded by either new design. The new screen designs and the most common existing design (Alu-Tread® walkway mesh) were trialled using directional fyke nets at 12 wetlands on the Lower Murray. The new designs allowed the passage of more small species (native species
