Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) response to two pieces of music (“Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” and “Romanza”) combined with light intensity, using recirculating water system

“…In addition to the above mentioned, fish rearing conditions also include feed (quality and feeding level) and feeding practice (number of daily meals and time intervals between meals), rearing density (number of specimens or weight of fish per m 3 of rearing water), mono and poly-culture rearing, water flow rate, lighting conditions (photoperiod, light colour, and intensity), and noise, sound, and possibly music transmission (Boeuf and Le Bail 1999;Ellis et al 2002;Karakatsouli et al 2006aKarakatsouli et al , b, 2007aKarakatsouli et al , b, 2008Papoutsoglou 2002;Papoutsoglou and Papaparaskeva-Papoutsoglou 1978;Papoutsoglou et al 1992Papoutsoglou et al , 2001Papoutsoglou et al , 2005aPapoutsoglou et al , b, 2006Popper 2003;Popper et al 2007;Scholz and Ladich 2006;Smith et al 2004;Willis et al 2002;Wysocki et al 2007). It should also be emphasised that although studies related to the effect of most rearing conditions on farmed fish physiology have, for almost the last 50 years, been of international concern, studies on the possible effect of music seem to be in their early stages (Papoutsoglou 2005;Papoutsoglou et al 2007Papoutsoglou et al , 2008.…”

“…The experiment was carried out using appropriately constructed RAS tanks and applying specific rearing conditions, in terms of water-quality manipulation and feeding procedure, according to the known demands of carp (Papoutsoglou 2008;Papoutsoglou et al 2000Papoutsoglou et al , 2001Steffens 1989).…”

Duoculture diminishes social interaction costs and improves growth rates of two fish species at different temperatures

“…Higher growth rates of fishes reared jointly in duoculture versus monoculture have been reported for many species combinations including common carp Cyprinus carpio with silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix [ 14 ], Atlantic salmon with Arctic charr [ 12 ] and Tilapia rendalli with Oreochromis shiranus [ 7 ], and common carp with blue tilapia O . aureus [ 6 , 9 ]. In contrast, duoculture of juvenile sharpsnout seabream Diplodus puntazzo and gilthead seabream Sparus aurata resulted in no growth improvement in recirculating aquaculture system [ 11 ] and growth loss in grow-out trials at a fish farm [ 10 ].…”

Polyculture method of Vietnamese koi and monosex tilapia in pond- A Mini Review

“…al. 31 investigated the production of scaled carp (Cyprinus carpio) and blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus), in monoculture and polyculture conditions. They found that both species obtained the highest average weight gain, the lowest level of FCR and carcass lipid content when the fish species were stocked at a percentage of 40% carp and 60% tilapia.…”
