Comments on Management Practices
This species was introduced into North America as important food fish, and is now considered a nuisance because they compete with game fishes, and destroy vegetation important to waterfowl *1127,3605,1435,1436,1437,3603*. feeding regimes for cultured carp are oulined in the literature *3459,3460, 3463,3471,3476,3479,3486,3540,3495,3503,3514*. For sperm preservation see *3472,3515*. For induced spawning see *3530,3548,3549,3478*. For nutrient requirements see *3541*. For anesthetics and their use see *3483,3501,3500, 502,3496,3518,3584*. For providing winter bedding for juveniles in pond culture see *3505*. For improving growth in cultured carp see references under 'feeding regimes' and applying fertilizers, also see *3524,3547,3475, 3482*. For the effect of carp on bluegill and largemouth bass in pond culture see *1649*. For baiting carp prior to live removal see *3597*. They may be useful for weed control *3512*. See also the list of toxicants under 'Species Environmental Associations'. Fencing out carp may be necessary to insure aquatic vegetation for waterfowl *3591*. Where carp populations are small, control is not necessary to protect game fish populations *3589*. In a Wisconsin pond study, the minimum standing crop of young carp in individual ponds was 98.4 lbs/ac, with a maximum of 319.1 lbs/ac, where stocking rates ranged from 37.5-450 lbs/ac *6601*.
