A problem in warm water fish pond experiments, including Silver carp and Bighead, is high loss during captivity (in the laboratory). What is the reason?
Is there a way to keep these fish (Especially Silver carp) in the laboratory and test it?
Growing silver carp requires special conditions. So, the water should be warm - up to 25 degrees Celsius, these fish are very fond of the sun, the muddy bottom of the reservoir and reservoirs rich in vegetation. The ideal depth for them is 3-4 meters. For captive breeding, a whole workshop with an area of up to 300-500 square meters is required
Silver carp breeding can take place, for example, in a pond. The life of a silver carp in an artificial reservoir should last 2-3 years. It is necessary to take into account the requirements of the fish for the size and depth of the pond, oxygenation, observe the size and development of the fish. So, dividing them by age categories allows you to avoid the spread of diseases, improve the conditions for breeding and growing fish.
Silver carps can also eat artificial feed.
Is it possible to provide favorable conditions for all 4 species of carp (especially silver carp) in 300-liter tanks (No sediment, along with fertilization for plankton growth, and manual feeding) for a short period of time (for example, one month) so that they do not perish?
There could be a number of reasons for high loss of warm water fish in pond experiments, including poor water quality, stress, disease, improper feeding, or aggression among fish. It is important to carefully monitor and maintain the water quality and temperature, provide a suitable diet, and ensure that the fish have enough space to swim and avoid aggression. Additionally, it is important to regularly monitor the health of the fish and take steps to prevent and treat any diseases that may arise.
To improve survival rates, it may be helpful to use a quarantine period to acclimate the fish to the laboratory conditions before introducing them to the main experiment. It may also be helpful to minimize stress by providing a suitable environment and handling the fish gently during handling and transport. Finally, it is important to follow good husbandry practices and consult with an aquaculture expert or veterinarian if necessary.
