TRANSCRIPT
CARP (Cyprinus carpio)
LOCATION:WAWA River, Agusan del Sur
Local Name: Carpa
Max Size: 19 cm
Biodiversity: Freshwater, introduced
Fishing Season: All Year LongThis is an introduced species of carp that is now found around the country. It is found throughout much of South and Southeast Asia and is considered as a non-oily white fleshed fish. These fish are omnivores and so are easily targeted by angler with bait such as worms, bread, dough bait and more. This fish was first caught in Tarlac on a worm. Now in the river of Agusan del Sur we found this kind of carp

CARP (Cyprinus carpio)Biological features• Body bilaterally symmetrical, moderately elongate, its dorsal profile
more arched than the ventral profile; • body with cycloid scales, head without scale; • snout fairly depressed, projecting beyond mouth, without lateral lobe;
eyes dorsolateral in position, not visible from outside of head; • Carp can grow to a very large size, with overseas reports of fish as large
as 1.2 metres in length weighing 60 kg. Fish of up to 10 kg have been caught in Australia, but weights of around 4-5 kg are more common.
• pharyngeal teeth in three rows; upper jaw not extending to front edge of eye; simple (unbranched) dorsal fin rays three or four,
• colour bluish on back, silvery on flanks and belly, shading to golen yellow
• Habitat • Carp are usually found in still or slowly flowing waters
at low altitudes, especially in areas where there is abundant aquatic vegetation.
• They are capable of tolerating a range of environmental conditions.
• They have a greater tolerance of low oxygen levels, pollutants and turbidity than most native fish, and are often associated with degraded habitats, including stagnant waters.
Reproduction: • Under suitable conditions, carp are highly prolific. They mature early –
as early as 1 year for males and 2 years for females – and the females produce large numbers of sticky eggs (up to 1.5 million for a 6kg fish).
• Carp migrate to and from breeding grounds during the breeding season, sometimes travelling hundreds of kilometres.
• Most eggs and larvae die before they reach adulthood, although more may survive if environmental conditions are suitable.
• Floods seem to provide especially favourable conditions for carp breeding as well as abundant food for juveniles
Feeding• Carp are omnivorous, and their diet varies depending on
what is available. They consume a range of small food items such as molluscs, crustaceans, insect larvae and seeds.
• Carp rarely eat fish, but may consume fish eggs and larvae and disturb breeding sites.
• Adult carp have no natural predators. Large predatory native fish, such as Murray cod, golden perch and bass, may consume juvenile carp, although it appears they are not a favoured prey item.
Predation• A single carp can lay over a million eggs in a
year, yet their population remains the same, so the eggs and young perish in similarly vast numbers. Eggs and fry often fall victim to bacteria, fungi, and the vast array of tiny predators in the pond environment.
