Cyprinid Fishes

Part of the book series: Fish & Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 3))

Abstract

The family Cyprinidae is the most successful group of freshwater teleosts; representatives occur in most freshwater habitats in all the major continents, although their presence in Australasia results from introductions by Man. The family’s ubiquity stems in part from the wide range in growth rate and ultimate size shown by different species, often in the same river or lake. This feature, allied to the range of reproductive requirements (Chapter 17), means that most freshwater habitats are suitable for at least one species, and many habitats support several. In addition, there is frequently marked intraspeciflc variability in growth rate between different life history types (Fig. 16.1) and between sexes. This variation may reflect genetic adaptations to particular local environments, but the evidence from fish transfers (e.g. Mann and Steinmetz, 1985) suggests that individuals within a population show wide phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity confers the potential for a rapid response to changes in environmental conditions in an individual fish’s growth rate and development to sexual maturity. Indeed, the sensitive response of fish growth to manipulations of population density and of the nutrient status of the environment underlies much of fish culture practice.
