Common carp is one of the oldest cultured and most domesticated fish in the world, and is a very adaptable species in both the wild and in culture conditions. This publication describes the genetic resources of 31 strains of common carp maintained in a living gene bank at the Fish Culture Research Institute in Hungary. Five main features are evaluated: survival, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, slaughter value and fat content of the meat.
