Rhode luchepёryh representatives of the fauna of the river carp family is divided into two types: gold and silver carp (or ordinary).The area of distribution of the golden carp is very wide.From European countries, habitat of the common carp comes to pool Russian Lena River.Goldfish originally had a home in the Pacific in the Siberian rivers and river downstream of the Aral Sea.But because of unpretentiousness to natural conditions of the river area of its habitat has expanded considerably.Today, goldfish (photo you will see in this article) is found in virtually all freshwater reservoirs and rivers of the European part of Russia, the North Caucasus, the Urals and Siberia.Therefore, it is believed that it will soon place the goldfish, so sometimes called the common carp, silver carp take.
Gold and silver carp: main differences
Already, many fishing enthusiasts and experts witness occurring hybrid species of fish.There is intraspecific hybridization.
At first glance, the two species are similar in appearance.However, an experienced angler, after looking well, points to a number of differences:
- golden carp scales always have yellow or golden color;colors depend on habitat and can have a copper-red or bronze color;
- crucian silver strictly corresponds to the definition of their species;Sometimes the color scales may be gray or greenish-gray tint - it depends on the place of distribution and underwater river algae;
- scales carp ordinary slightly smaller in size, but more in the number of scales;goldfish in a lateral line scales less than 30, while his fellow gold boasts abundant scaly coating their lateral line;
- common carp head is more rounded shape, unlike the pointed heads of silver;
- a young golden carp in front of the tail fin has a dark spot, which disappears with age;Silver brother this feature can not boast.
Carp Silver: description of the type
The representative of the carp family has a length of no more than 45 cm, and most well-known weight of fish caught - 4,25 kg.This catch was recorded in the river Turuhan in Siberia.This is the official record for Russia.However, the average fish (carp silver) barely reaches one and a half kilograms.The lifespan of this type of carp is about 8-10 years.
When silver carp becomes mature individuals?Under favorable conditions, this is the age of 2-3 years, when the body length of 20 cm. Fluctuating asymmetry goldfish remains stable and is characterized by a large number of gold gill rakers, coloring sideline and abdomen, which confirms the type of adaptation to different environmental conditionshabitat.This is an excellent indicator of the stability of the individual.
fertility
Spawning this valuable commercial fish runs exactly the same as compared to the ordinary karasёm.The only difference is stretched over time.Spawning can last from late May to early August.Comfortable conditions for procreation is considered the water temperature is not below 15º C. The fecundity of females can reach up to 400 thousand eggs.After the first spawning spawning occurs again in two weeks.Caviar goldfish has a sticky consistency, so the eggs are attached to underwater vegetation at a depth of no more than half.
method
breeding population of the species reproduces by gynogenesis.The point is that the male sperm does not merge with the female egg.In the development of the embryo is involved only female egg silver carp.Future offspring river fish only consists of females.Therefore, among the floating in the rivers of goldfish very rare males.When the eggs inseminated with sperm of closely related species of fish future offspring genetically inherit only the maternal code goldfish.
population of the species belongs to the category of white river fish, carp meat so dense, tasty and nutritious.No wonder the silver carp is very popular in the artificial breeding, along with carp.In terms of culinary tastes silver carp is not picky.Zooplankton, phytoplankton, detritus, the remains of animals and plants - are the main diet of the river dweller.
Habitat
Still water - a favorite habitat of goldfish.Closed ponds, small lakes and ponds, marshy forest lakes, quiet river backwaters and peat career - this is the exact address of our hero.It is believed that Tina - is the main and favorite poems carp.
worth mentioning that carp - a very hardy fish.Confirmation is its ability to adapt to dry reservoirs.Burrowing into the mud and falling into hibernation, silver carp may be a long time without water.As soon as the reservoir is filled with water, carp is showing signs of life again.
In winter, the same thing happens.Fish freezes into ice and easily endures cold and frost.One has only to come to the heat as it comes to life again.
But we can not rule out running water, which, in contrast to the golden carp prefers its silver counterpart.
Technique catching carp

In order to improve the properties of aromatic great variety of oils: sesame, linseed, anise, sunflower.For each body of water are selected individually bait.
Especially popular with goldfish uses red worms.Most catchability place is the pits and underwater crossings with abundant aquatic vegetation.Carp caught perfectly with both the bottom of the river, and from half-waters.After spawning, fishing is particularly productive.Biting carp is very unstable.Poklёvka also very indefinite and quiet.Premature or delayed sweeps do not bring results.Novice anglers should know that carp bite is very sluggish, so the cooked head often remains intact.
There is a special technique of catching carp, both gold and silver.As soon as the float starts to tremble, and then slowly move to the side, you need to strike.Typically, in low lying klёve float on the surface of the water.This means that the time has not yet come to trip: carp "learns" and tasting the cooked him packing.Only after the confident movement of the float should be done cutting.The great difficulty in deriving the carp out of the water there.The most important thing - it's quiet and smooth movement angler.

Anthropogenic factors
Influence of anthropogenic factors on the goldfish is not the last value.Although adaptation to the conditions of carp habitat fairly painless, and to consider the human impact on the environment.More and more rivers and reservoirs due to human activity come into disrepair.Pollution of natural resources forced the fish to migrate to a clean place.Unfortunately, if this process continues, we can after a while do not see this beautiful river.But both want to sit out in good weather on the beach with a fishing rod and catch his cherished carp.
