“…In the southern hemisphere, the C . carpio population(s) reported from Lakes Crescent and Sorell and included in the present study may well be representative of the highest latitude (42° 18′ S) at which the species is encountered, with areas in South America above that latitude being currently flagged only as liable to further potential invasiveness (Zambrano et al ., ; Crichigno et al ., ; Maiztegui et al ., ).…”

“…Although in some of its non‐native areas of distribution, such as North America and Australasia, C . carpio is highly invasive (McCrimmon, ; Moyle, ; Koehn, ; Bajer et al ., ), it is also regarded as a (potential) threat in several other regions of Africa, Asia, South America and Europe (Fernández et al ., ; Britton et al ., ; Clavero & Villero, ; Macklin et al ., ; Maiztegui et al ., ; Piria et al ., ).…”

This review provides a meta-analytical assessment of the global patterns and clines in the growth of Cyprinus carpio as measured by length-at-age (L ) or von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) parameters, mass-length relationship (W-L ) and condition factor, based on literature data. In total, 284 studies were retrieved spanning 91 years of research and carried out on 381 waterbodies-locations in 50 countries in all five continents. Although native C. carpio achieved larger (asymptotic) size relative to its non-native counterpart, the latter grew faster during the first 7 years of life. Lentic populations (especially in natural lakes) also achieved larger sizes relative to lotic ones and the same was true for populations in cold and temperate v. arid climates. Unlike previous studies (on much more restricted datasets), only weak latitudinal clines in instantaneous growth rate, L at age 3 and mortality were observed globally and this was probably due to the presence of counter-gradient growth variation at all representative age classes (i.e. 1-10 years). Slightly negative allometry was revealed by the W-L and the related form factor tended to distinguish the more elongated and torpedo-shaped body typical of the wild form from the deeper body of feral-domesticated C. carpio. Existing population dynamics models for C. carpio will benefit from the comprehensive range of waterbody type × climate class-specific VBGF parameters provided in the present study; whereas, more studies are needed on the species' growth in tropical regions and to unravel the possibility of confounding effects on age estimation due to both historical and methodological reasons.

“…The invasive success of C. carpio is strongly related to its high tolerance to environmental stress (e.g. Edwards and Twomey 1982;Weber et al 2010;Maiztegui et al 2016); a generalist feeding strategy (Sibbing 1988;Colautti and Remes Lenicov 2001;García-Berthou 2001); fast growth, high fecundity and early sexual maturation (Panek 1987;Winker et al 2011;Vilizzi and Copp 2017). Impacts are linked primarily to their bottom grubbing feeding mechanism which mobilizes sediments, increases turbidity and enhances nutrient availability which have been shown to alter aquatic food webs on multiple trophic levels .…”

Population responses of common carp Cyprinus carpio to floods and droughts in the Pampean wetlands of South America

Common carp (Cyprinuscarpio) is a global invader that exhibits a wide distribution in Argentina, particularly in shallow lakes and wetlands of the Pampean region. The hydrological conditions of these environments are driven by variations in annual precipitation that determine inter annual changes in water levels leading to flood-drought cycles. The present study focused on understanding the C.carpio population responses to annual rainfall regime and long-term flood and drought events in the Ajó wetlands located in the east of the Pampean region. The results of a two-year biological sampling program showed that C.carpio feeding rate, reproduction, condition, and recruitment were associated with the hydrological cycle. Otolith derived age structure of the population and back-calculated recruitment strength revealed that extraordinary flooding events generated strong cohorts while dry years resulted in low recruitment. Its long-life span (maximum 14 years in Ajó) coupled with a high fecundity, and broad diet allows C.carpio to persist in refugia during dry years and capitalize on wet years when inundation of the floodplain enhances recruitment and facilitates spread. Management and control strategies for this invader should therefore incorporate hydrological variability by promoting intensive removal campaigns during dry years when populations are dominated by large fish confined in remnant water-bodies and, during wet years, carp harvest fisheries should be promoted to reduce population density when increased connectivity is likely to facilitate spread.

“…These include not only regions with warm and/or arid climates (e.g. Central and South America, Africa), where carp is predicted to expand further its invasive range of distribution (Zambrano et al 2006;Crichigno et al 2016;Maiztegui et al 2016), but also those areas where the species plays an important commercial role for fisheries, as in Anatolia, Turkey (Gaygusuz et al 2015) and in the Caspian Sea region (Abdullaev 2011;Amouei et al 2013;Sedaghat et al 2013). …”

Age determination in common carp Cyprinus carpio: history, relative utility of ageing structures, precision and accuracy

The common carp Cyprinus carpio is one of the most widely-distributed freshwater fishes in the world. Due to its value for conservation and fisheries in several native/translocated areas of distribution and its detrimental effects on the aquatic ecosystem in most invasive areas, robust age-based population dynamics models are required for successful management of this species. The present study provides a global review of age determination in carp, including a historical account of ageing methods, an assessment of the relative utility of ageing structures, and an evaluation of precision and accuracy (i.e. validation) of age estimates. Historically, scales were by far the most widely-employed structure, followed by the operculum, otolith, dorsal spine, vertebra and fin ray. However, in countries where carp is categorised as 'high risk' of impact, use of alternative structures to the scale was predominant. Causal criteria analysis showed scales and opercula to provide inconsistent evidence for successful annulus identification/counting, whereas consistent evidence was found for otoliths, dorsal spines, vertebrae and (pectoral) fin rays. Precision was always above reference thresholds for scales, whereas for otoliths, dorsal spines and fin rays was in several cases below. Accuracy was addressed sporadically and mostly in high-risk countries. It is suggested that dorsal spines or pectoral fin rays should be used in lieu of scales as non-lethal ageing structures, and otoliths (or vertebrae, pending more research) otherwise, and that validation should always be attempted as part of the set-up of more appropriate ageing protocols and use of correct terminology.
