Genetic Resources of Common Carp at the Fish Culture Research Institute, Szarvas, Hungary, Vol. 417

Common carp is one of the oldest cultured and most domesticated fish in the world, and is a very adaptable species in both the wild and in culture coditions. The genetic resources of common carp maintained at the Fish Culture Research Institute in Szarvas, Hungary, are described in this paper. Five main features were evaluated that determined the economic value of the resulting strains: survival, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, slaughter value and fat content of the meat.Bakos, J. is the author of 'Genetic Resources of Common Carp at the Fish Culture Research Institute, Szarvas, Hungary, Vol. 417', published 2001 under ISBN 9789251046586 and ISBN 9251046581.
