Induced breeding of Thai silver carp
Share
Abstract
Puntius gonionotus Bleeker, or Thai silver carp, called locally "Pla ta pian khao", is one of the Thai local food fish. It is a fast-growing freshwater fish, easy to culture and highly productive. The species feeds mainly on aquatic plants, grasses, and algae.
Recently, the natural occurrence of Thai silver carp fry has diminished. An adequate supply of stocking fry can be ensured by producing them under controlled conditions. The following mode of operation is recommended for induced spawning of Thai silver carp, as well as other freshwater species.
