“…The success of cross‐breeding in common carp is seen through the appearance of different breeds (Gorda, Bakos, Liska & Kakuk 1995; Pokorný, Flajšhans, Hartvich, Kvasnička & Pružina 1995) reflecting high genetic variability. Individual breeds and strains were described in the past by biometrical measurements (e.g.…”

Performance tests of Northern mirror carp (M72) and three di¡erent crossbreds were conducted in semiintensive pond conditions from the larval stage up to market size. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible utilization of new hybrid combinations (M72 Â PL^Pohor› elice mirror carp) and (M72 Â Dor Israeli mirror carp), and to compare them with a hybrid widely reared as a commercial product (M72 Â M2^Hungarian mirror carp) and with M72 purebred. The testing model was derived from similar studies carried out in the conditions of the Czech Republic, where an internal control of di¡erent scale cover is used to eliminate all non-genetic e¡ects. ANCOVA revealed at market size signi¢cantly better growth in M72 Â Dor (1619 AE 28.3 g; LS mean AE SE) and M72 Â PL (1475 AE 29.8 g) compared with M72 (1278 AE 26.3 g). Survival during the test of 3 years duration was signi¢cantly the best in the M72 Â Dor hybrid as were the dressing out parameters measured at market size, even if these were signi¢cantly di¡erent only in proportion of ¢llets with skin (39.1 AE 0.28%). Interestingly, the crossbred M72 Â M2 commonly used by Czech ¢shermen showed for both, growth (1371 AE 26.2 g) and survival, the lowest values among crossbreds and with regard to dressing out parameters mostly among all tested groups.

“…These variations soon became a foundation for artificial selection. Ultimately, domesticated common carp are represented by a variety of forms, such as scaled carp, line carp, mirror carp, and leather or naked carps (Brylińska, 1986; Gorda et al ., 1995; Pokorný et al ., 1995). …”

Domestication of mammals such as cattle, dogs, pigs and horses preceded that of fishes by at least 10 000 years. The first domesticated fish was the common carp Cyprinus carpio. Initially it was held as an exploited captive and did not undergo major changes in body shape or colour variations. About 2000 years ago, wild common carp were most abundant in the inland delta of the Danube River. These fish were torpedo shaped, golden‐yellow in colour and had two pairs of barbels and a mesh‐like scale pattern. Large schools of them thrived and reproduced on the flood plains of the Danube. The Romans kept fishes in specially built ponds at that time. The common carp was an ideal candidate and its rearing became more popular in medieval times. Common carp culture gradually became the most profitable branch of agriculture in central Europe and many special ponds were built. Soon common carp were being produced in pond systems including spawning and growing ponds. Unintentional artificial selection had taken place between the 12th and mid‐14th century, and deep bodied and variously scaled or scaleless domesticated forms appeared in nearly every pond system. Some colour aberrations appeared in the 1950s in Japan, which, as koi, became the most expensive of fish. Common carp were not originally domesticated in China but wild ‘chi’Carassius auratus occasionally appeared as a xanthic form that, as the goldfish, has been known since 960 A.D. By the 1200s the fish were used as ornamental animals in the garden pools of rich landowners. Circa 1276 to 1546, the Chinese began keeping golden chi in aquarium‐like vessels and soon rich and poor alike became breeders of the fancy domesticated goldfish. The variously shaped monstrosities and colour aberrants were freaks but they became very fashionable at that time and still are. Domesticated goldfish monstrosities were first exported from China to Japan and much later to Europe and around the world. More recently other species have been domesticated by aquarists, such as the guppy Poecilia reticulata or the neon tetra Paracheirodon innesi. Other fishes kept as ornamentals, like swordtails Xiphophorus hellerii and platies Xiphophorus maculatus, the discus and angelfishes (Cichlidae), as well as those cultured for food like the rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus or sturgeons (Acipenseridae) are merely exploited captives.

“…Its domestication in various geographical regions (differing in environmental conditions and with varying breeding objectives) has resulted in the formation of different breeds, as has been recently reviewed (e.g. Gorda, Bakos, Liska & Kakuk 1995; Hulata 1995; Pokorný, Flajšhans, Hartvich, Kvasnička & Pružina 1995; Duda, Gela & Linhart 1999). For the determination of the genetic potential of individual breeds contributing to the enhancement of common carp production, appropriate methods of performance assessment, and particularly a properly chosen method of growth testing, are a necessary prerequisite.…”

The growth of two breeds of common carp, Cyprinus carpio L., was tested in ponds under the climatic conditions of South Bohemia. Tr› ebon› scaly carp (TR) and Hungarian mirror carp (M2) were kept in both low and high stocking densities during the second growing season and then stocked together for communal testing during the third growing season. Before the communal testing, the mean initial weights of ¢sh from low-and high-density stocks di¡ered signi¢cantly (374.1 vs. 227.7 g for the TR breed and 766.7 vs. 317.3 g for the M2 breed respectively, Po0.01). After communal testing, mean weights of ¢sh from low-and high-density stocks gained 761.8 vs. 543.8 g for the TR breed and 1339.7 vs. 706.7 g for the M2 breed respectively. These observed weights were also signi¢cantly di¡erent (Po0.01). However, the test of corrected weight gain, i.e. gain not related to the initial weight of ¢sh, revealed insigni¢cant di¡erences (P40.01) between the weight gains after correction, i.e. the e¡ect of di¡erent initial weights was successfully eliminated. These results seem to con¢rm the applicability of this method for the assessment of growth of purebred common carp under the climatic conditions of Central European ¢sh farms.The lower index indicates age of the ¢sh; Then TR 1 À 2 means Tr› ebon› scaly carp in growing season 2, etc.Aquaculture Research, 2003 Growth testing of common carp P Hartvich et al.
