How to produce mirror carp fry (Cyprinus carpio)
The commonly farmed fish in Uganda, the Nile tilapia, grows very slowly in the cooler regions like Kabale, Kapchorwa and parts of Mbale and Kabarole. In 1957, the mirror carp (simply called Carp), was introduced into Uganda from Asia. Carp, unlike tilapia, takes eight months to attain an average weight of 500 g. In similar regions, the tilapia reaches an average weight of 100 g in a year. Therefore, carp is recommended for these regions. However, carp does not produce fry easily in ponds. This technology explains the process and steps to be followed to produce carp fry in ponds.
