Effects of Common Carp on Aquatic Ecosystems 80 Years after “Carp as a Dominant”: Ecological Insights for Fisheries Management (2009, background): “Common carp also experience rapid growth (Maitland and Campbell, 1992; Vilizzi and Walker, 1999; Phelps et al., 2008b), on average reaching 163 mm by age 1, 279 mm by age 2, and 366 mm by age 3 in North America (Jackson et al., 2008).”
Spawning dynamics of common carp in the River Murray, South Australia, shown by macroscopic and histological staging of gonads (2004, background): “Victoria mature at ages 1þ years (males) and 2þ years (females) (Hume et al., 1983) and 2þ year fish in South Australia generally are � 300 mm LT ( Vilizzi & Walker, 1999 ).”
Age and growth studies of chondrichthyan fishes: the need for consistency in terminology, verification, validation, and growth function fitting (2006, methodology): “Following modified edge analysis methods introduced in teleost ageing studies (Anderson et al. 1992; Vilizzi and Walker 1999), Smith (2005) classified four distinct edge categories: narrow translucent, broad translucent, narrow opaque and broad opaque.”
Carp (Cyprinus carpio) as a powerful invader in Australian waterways (2004, background): “…time 2–4 years Rapid growth Hatching of eggs is rapid (2 days at 25 C) and newly hatched carp grow very rapidly Balon (1975), Adamek (1998) and Vilizzi & Walker (1999) High reproductive capacity They are highly fecund broadcast spawners with egg counts as high as 2 million per female Balon…”
Maturation and Reproductive Biology of Female Wild Carp, Cyprinus carpio, in Victoria, Australia (2003, background): “The lack of relationship between AF and age is perhaps more surprising although this may be due to the large variation observed in size-at-age for carp (Vilizzi & Walker 1999, Brown et al. in press).”
