Infos

Centuries ago the carp became the most common table fish in Europe. Quality has been improved by selective breeding and its farming is more economical than most of the salmonids. Wild fish are popular with anglers, while the koi carp are much prized ornamental fish. The author's experience in carp farming began about 60 years ago. He has recorded his practical experience in this illustrated book. It is a comprehensive guide to farming carp in temperate waters whether for food, sport or ornament.
