Features: Crucian carp is rich in nutrition, has a delicious taste, strong adaptability, fast growth, and is easy to raise. It is a high-quality fish for artificial cultivation, favored by both consumers and breeders. Crucian carp has a very wide geographical distribution. Due to long-term ecological adaptation, it has formed many locally adapted populations with variations. To develop excellent new varieties of crucian carp for cultivation, China's aquatic science and technology workers have carried out a large number of effective and pioneering efforts over the past 30 years, selecting and breeding a batch of new crucian carp varieties with excellent cultivation economic traits and broad development prospects. However, China's annual production of crucian carp is currently only about 900,000 tons, which still cannot meet the urgent market demand. To accelerate the development of cultivation for famous, special, and high-quality aquatic products, increase the proportion of high-quality fish, improve the economic benefits of fish farming, and expedite the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, we have organized experts, researchers, and professors with both theoretical foundations and rich production experience. We have compiled the book "High-Quality Crucian Carp Cultivation Technology" by summarizing the abundant research achievements at home and abroad and earnestly summarizing the rich practical experience accumulated in production. This book mainly includes the classification status, geographical distribution, economic value, biological characteristics, ecological habits, artificial propagation, seed production, seedling cultivation, wintering and conservation, adult fish cultivation, feed and feeding, disease prevention and control, and other new technologies of such high-quality crucian carp varieties as Fangzheng Silver Crucian Carp, Songpu Silver Crucian Carp, Pengze Crucian Carp, Qihe Crucian Carp, Eerqisi River Silver Crucian Carp, Osaka Crucian Carp, Crossbred Crucian Carp, High-Back Crucian Carp, Xiangyun Crucian Carp, Xiang Crucian Carp, and Panjin No. 1 Hybrid Crucian Carp. This book is authoritative, rich in content, and features novel techniques. It is highly scientific, technical, and operable, with easy-to-understand language. It serves as an excellent guide and reference for fish farmers, fish cultivation producers, aquatic technology extension personnel, university teachers and students, technical personnel of research institutions, and science and technology management officials in administrative departments.
