New common carp (Cyprinus carpio) technology for new climate era
This study enabled experimental study in favor of improving common carp intensive breeding technology. Climate change, water and manpower shortages reduce the feasibility of traditional common carp extensive pond production and urge the development of more intensive production systems. This study investigated the effect of regular 2-hour daytime aeration/destratification on oxygen concentration and other physical, chemical, and biological water quality parameters compared at two different water depth setups. The experiment itself was set as the 2*2 full factorial design in duplication. The effects of applying these technological strategies were assessed by evaluating fish survival, individual growth, feed conversion, health status and welfare. Parallelly, water quality parameters were also evaluated, emphasizing the organic load of water with zooplankton, green algae, and cyanobacteria population track.
