This generously illustrated text is a detailed and practical guide to the principles and practices of the 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 special chapter is devoted to the propagation of other pond fish species, including pike, zander, tench, wels catfish and goldfish whose commercial importance is increasing.
