Summary:

Après avoir présenté les différents biotopes dans lesquelles vivent les carpes communes, ce livre offre une analyse approfondie des caractères phénotypiques et génotypiques des différentes espèces pigmentées. Les méthodes variées de sélection artificielle et d'élevage vont permettre une production optimale d'espèces hybrides très résistantes.
