Training manual on the artificial propagation of carps

FAO has always played a leading role in the publication of practice-oriented technical papers and training materials on fisheries and fish culture. One of the objectives of producing this huge wealth of ready-to-use technical information is to support the sustainable development of fish culture all over the world. Following these principles, two very successful, richly illustrated practical technical guides were produced in the mid-1980s on the mass production of eggs, early fry,1 advanced fry a nd fingerlings of common carp. Owing to profound political, social and economic changes, the production of fish ponds and small water reservoirs in many countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) has declined considerably in recent decades. In order to restart and increase carp production in these regions, hands-on training courses supported with handouts has proved useful in the practical training and self-education of concerned and interested fish farmers. The present handout builds on an earlier FAO publication.2 The original watercolour illustrations used in this publication are the work of László Horváth, father of the senior author. Although the set of these pictures is practically complete, in order to prepare an even more understandable technical reference, additional black and white illustrations from other publications, as well as tables and text, have been inserted where sources were correctly indexed and listed under References.
