Control of Common Carp in the Heron Lake Watershed, Minnesota
Common carp Cyprinus carpio were radiotracked during the winter of two years in North (83 7 hectares) and South (13 60 hectares) Heron Lakes, Minnesota to monitor survival and behavior in these shallow (maximum depth 1. 5 m), turbid lakes. Winterkill conditions killed four of six radiotagged common …

Effects of Common Carp and Black Bullheads on Sago Pondweed
<p>Overabundant populations of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and black bullheads (Ictalurus melas) may have a detrimental effect on submerged aquatic plant production and thus waterfowl habitat. The relative impact of small common carp (0.9 kg), large common carp (1.5 kg), and black bullheads ( 0.7 …

Population Dynamics of Common Carp in Eastern South Dakota Glacial Lakes
… validated as an accurate aging technique for common carp Cyprinus carpio. However, common carp otoliths can be difficult to age and require a time-expensive process that involves sacrifice of fish. Therefore, I analyzed aging precision among four alternative structures compared to otoliths for …

The effects of common carp on zooplankton communities using morphological and molecular techniques
… region this is intensified with the presence of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). The overall aim of this thesis was to capture the environmental and biological changes of a natural pond environment when carp were introduced at a high density, and to develop and test a DNA based approach of …

Biotic Impacts in Shallow Water Bodies of South Dakota Resulting From Common Carp Invasion
Common carp Cyprinus carpio (hereafter referred to as carp) are one of the most common freshwater fish invaders worldwide that are known to have adverse ecological effects. They are generalists that possess a suite of life history traits that make them very efficient at invading new water bodies …

USING ACOUSTIC TELEMETRY TO ANALYZE THE IMPACTS OF COMMON CARP ON WILD RICE RESTORATION
… and dietary resource to Lake Superior Ojibwe. Common Carp (<em>Cyprinus carpio</em>) are an introduced species that negatively impact aquatic vegetation through changes in water quality, uprooting of plants, and consumption of seed. Acoustic telemetry was used to document Common Carp movements …

Practical diet formulation for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and walking catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) larvae in Thailand
… The present study was conducted in Thailand on common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and walking catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) larvae with the following objectives: 1) To assess the nutritive values of several available feed ingredients when used singly or in different combinations; 2) To formulate a …

Experimental studies on the control and regulation of feeding in the common carp, Cyprinus carpio (L. )
… the patterns of food intake exhibited by carp (Cyprinus carpio) feeding on an operant regime, to investigate the role of the nucleus posterior thalamicus (NPTh) in the control of food intake, and to investigate the role of gut peptides in the control of food intake. A range of techniques …

Microplastics in White Sucker (Catostomus commersonii) and Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the Upper Thames River, Ontario.
… fishes—white sucker (Catostomus commersonii) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio)—across 11 sites in the Thames River, Ontario. Microplastics were found in 44% of white sucker, ranging from 0-14 particles per fish, and 31% of common carp, ranging from 0-128 particles per fish. Across both species, …

Seasonal Movements and Spatial Distributions of Common Carp in an Interconnected Glacial Lake System in Eastern South Dakota
The common carp Cyprinus carpio is a ubiquitous invasive species naturalized to aquatic systems throughout North America. Following their intentional introduction in the United States in the late 1800’s, the common carp’s commercial and recreational value declined during the 20th century. They are …

Population/Biomass Estimates and Relative Abundance Indices of Adult Common Carp in Arrowwood and Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuges
… rates in passive gear, such as gill nets, are commonly used by biologists to index fish population density. The purpose of this project was to assess the potential relationship between common carp (Cyprinus carpio) biomass and catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE) in gill nets. Adult common carp …

Non-structural Deterrents and Opportunistic Dispersal in an Invasive Fish: The Role of Among-Individual Variation on Common Carp Movement
… to invasion biology. Using an invasive fish, Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio), as my study species, I examined the influence of among-individual behavioural variation on opportunistic dispersal and on the effectiveness of non-structural deterrents - methods used to limit the movement of …

Isolation of innate immune response genes, expression analysis, polymorphism identification and development of genetic markers for linkage analysis in common carp (Cyprinus carpio)
Since the late 1990s, common carp and koi production enterprises around the world have suffered enormous losses due to a viral disease caused by cyprinid herpesvirus-3 (CyHV-3). Genetic variation in resistance to CyHV-3 infection was observed in different common carp strains, indicating that …

Field and laboratory studies suggest that recruitment of the invasive common carp is controlled by native fish in Stable Lakes of the Upper Mississippi Basin.
Recent studies have shown that recruitment of the common carp in many lakes of the Upper Mississippi Basin is limited to areas that experience an ecological disturbance that alters the fish community. It has been hypothesized that recruitment of carp is limited by native predatory fish and that …

Influence of Resource Pulses Following Stochastic Disturbances on Aquatic Food Webs
… ecosystems has remained vastly unexplored. Common carp Cyprinus carpio is a highly abundant invasive fish in shallow eutrophic lakes throughout much of the world and is associated with deleterious effects on aquatic ecosystems due in part to nutrient subsidies provided through bioturbation …

Patterns of intersex prevalence, vitellogenin, and reproductive condition in two commercially harvested fish along a pollution gradient in the Illinois River complex
… to this exposure. Long-term data suggests that common carp populations are declining in the Illinois River while the age structure of channel catfish has shifted to primarily older fish. This study assessed gonadosomatic index (GSI), liver somatic index (LSI), intersex condition, elevated VTG …

Annual Food Habits of Northern Pike in an Eastern South Dakota Natural Lake
… eaten by northern pike in Lake Thompson were common carp Cyprinus carpio, black crappies Pornoxis nigromaculatus, white crappies P. annularis, and fathead minnows Pimephales promelas. Common carp were eaten in mid-summer and again in winter. Black crappies were eaten mostly in the winter. …

Exploring Fish Diversity as a Determinant of Ecosystem Properties in Aquatic Food Webs
I examined the effect of common carp across a gradient of fish richness in mesocosms. The invader reduced native fish production and the effect was reduced with increasing fish richness. The invertebrate community was modified by a top-down effect from the richness treatment, whereas the invader …

Distribution, Temperature Selection, and Gonadal Development of Fishes In A Power Plant Cooling Reservoir
… The mean water temperature occupied by common carp (Cyprinus carpio) ranged from 7.5 C in February to 31.2 C in August. Black bullheads (Ictalurus melas) were generally benthic and captured in the cooler water. The mean water temperature occupied by black bullheads ranged from 7.5 C in …
