How big can silver carp grow in a year?

Silver carp fry can grow to about 2 kilograms in a year.

Bighead carp is also called silver carp, fathead, and bighead fish. It has a long, flat body, a slightly higher body, and a particularly large head, which is about 1/3 of its body length, so it is called fathead fish. It has small eyes, a flat body, no horny ridges in front of the pelvic fin, fine scales, a dark body with irregular black spots on the back, a gentle temperament, slow swimming, not fond of jumping, easy to catch, likes to swim in groups, and lives in the middle and upper layers of the water.

Bighead carp is also a widespread fish, usually living in the middle and upper layers of the water body, and is not as active as silver carp. Like silver carp, it is also a "filter-feeding" fish, with zooplankton as its main food. Its feeding method is roughly the same as that of silver carp, relying on gill rakers to filter zooplankton and algae. In mixed fish ponds, it also plays the role of a logistical scavenger for grass carp, carp and other fish.

The role of silver carp

The reason why silver carp is more valuable than bighead carp is related to the famous dish "Chopped Pepper Fish Head" mentioned above. Chopped pepper fish head is rich in nutrition, the fish meat is soft and glutinous, fat but not greasy, and full of flavor. It is an authentic Hunan specialty.

In order to cater to market demand, breeding experts have also bred shrunken bighead carp, which has the characteristics of a large head and a small body, and maximized the economic value of silver carp.

Silver carp, also known as bighead carp, bighead carp and bighead carp, is a fish species that is very popular among consumers, especially large-sized silver carp, which has high economic value. Silver carp is a filter-feeding fish, mainly feeding on zooplankton such as rotifers, cladocerans and copepods.

Take the artificially cultured silver carp fry as an example, it can grow to about 2 kilograms in one year. The growth rate of silver carp is closely related to the breeding density, breeding environment, feed, breeding experience of farmers and management methods. Silver carp is a typical plankton-feeding fish, so it is recommended to plant some algae in the pond.

Silver carp can generally grow to 2-3 catties in a year in water. The flower chain head is still quite popular!

If the nutrition is adequate, it can grow to about two kilograms in a year, and some individuals may be a little bigger.

If the silver carp is well fed, it can grow to 7-8 catties or even more than 10 kg in a year.

How much does a silver carp head weigh?

About 3-4kg.

Silver carp grows faster than bighead carp. Under the premise of sufficient feed, a 2-liang silver carp can generally grow to about 0.8-1kg in one year, and a silver carp can grow to about 3-4kg in three years. If it is in a natural river, silver carp can grow to about 30-40kg.

The basic nutritional value of silver carp mainly includes water, protein, fat, ash, nitrogen-free extract, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin PP, etc. As the fish grows and develops, the water content gradually decreases, while the protein and fat content gradually increases.
