A guide to the principles and practices of farming of cyprinid fish using both traditional and modern pond culture techniques. The full cycle of fish culture is described, from selection and spawning of broodstock, through techniques of early fry rearing, to growing and harvesting. Although the book concentrates on carp culture, this can be regarded as a model for the production of many species. A chapter deals with propagation of other pond fish including pike, tench, zander, wels catfish and goldfish whose commercial importance is increasing.
