The carp - one of the most highly productive fishes, differs in exclusively good growth rate. Reaches 1 m in length and 20 kg of weight, in literature there are instructions on the maximum mass of a carp to 32 kg. Growth rate of carps depends mainly on security with food and the long period with water temperature above 20 °C. Most intensively eats and grows at the water temperature of 25-29 °C, and at a temperature below 8-10 °C in general stops food.
