The use of river hopper barges as facilities for aquaculture: The growth characteristics of carp (Cyprinus carpio) depending on stocking density

Carps (Cyprinus carpio) were farmed on a river hopper barge at two stocking densities, 10 and 20 individuals per m3. A comparison of average weights, specific growth rates and weight distributions was performed. The obtained results show that there was no statistically significant difference in any of the parameters studied with regard to stocking density.
