Nutrient Removal Efficiency and Growth of Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) under Different Harvesting Regimes in Integrated Recirculating Aquaponic Systems for Rearing Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Common Carp, Cyprinus carpio

The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) belongs to the family Cyprinidae. In nature, carp live in the middle or lower reaches of a river with slow currents, or in marshes. Their habitats are usually weedy areas with a muddy bottom. Carp fry feed on zooplankton such as rotifers and copepods, but as they grow up they become benthic feeders, feeding on animals and other organic material. The cyprinids h...

Communal or Separate Rearing of Families in Selective Breeding of Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)

Evaluation of growth and production of common carp Cyprinus carpio in aquaponic system and traditional aquculture method

Due to fresh water resource limits and environmental damage caused by aquaculture waste using systems based on sustainable development at the global level is highly regarded. Aquaponics or fish and plant co-culture system is one of the new approaches to achieve aquaculture sustainable development. In this study which was conducted , in 2015, at Ahvaz Azadegan warm water fish culture complex, 6 ...

Optimization of Feeding Rate of Juvenile Common Carp, (cyprinus Carpio L.), during Short Intensive Rearing under Controlled Conditions

The aim of this experiment was to determine the optimum feeding dose for juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) with the average initial body weight of 0.88g (WB) and the total length of 37.9 mm (TL). The rearing was conducted for 10 days at the temperature of 27°C under controlled conditions. The fish were divided into 6 feeding groups (in triplicate), for which the doses of feed were estab...
