Carp is one of the common freshwater fish, which is a kind of freshwater fish with large body size and fast growth rate. From the weight point of view, common carp weight between 2-14 kg; In terms of length, carp are more likely to be 40-80 centimeters long. There will also be very large carp, their length can reach more than 1 meter or even 2 meters, weight can reach hundreds of kilograms. Of course, this kind of carp is still relatively small, common carp will not be so big.
Specifically, carp living in different environments vary in how big they can grow. For example, how big farmed carp and wild carp can grow is different. Artificial carp is generally used to sell, because carp is a relatively common food, the size of the carp is generally relatively small, not fully grown may be sold, their weight is generally not more than 10 kg. Carp living in the wild if there is no human factor, they can continue to grow, can grow larger, the above mentioned hundreds of kilograms of carp belong to the wild carp.
As mentioned above, the growth rate of carp is relatively fast, especially when they are in the juvenile stage. Generally speaking, carp fry can grow 10-20 centimeters after one year of cultivation. How big they can grow depends on the suitability of the surrounding environment. If the food of the small fry is more abundant, and the various factors in the surrounding water environment are more appropriate, then the growth rate of the small fry is faster; On the contrary, if all kinds of conditions are not suitable for their growth, the fry will grow slowly. Generally speaking, cultured carp fry grow faster than wild carp fry.
