Chapter Summaries

The introduction provides a general overview of intensive fish culture and its importance in the global context. It outlines the specific objectives of the study, focusing on the feasibility of intensive common carp culture. The literature review explores existing knowledge on intensive culture, global aquaculture trends, the biology of common carp, water quality management, feeding practices, and nutritional requirements. The materials and methods section details the experimental setup, including the site, tank preparation, stocking density, feeding regime, water quality monitoring, and sampling procedures. The results chapter presents data on water quality parameters, fish growth, production parameters, and economic analysis. The discussion section analyzes the findings in relation to previous research and explores the implications for future aquaculture practices. The conclusion summarizes the key findings and discusses the feasibility of intensive common carp culture in cemented tanks.
