“…In comparison, carp fishing requires the strength of several men to carry the nets and move the boat when required. Overall positive results for the multicultural system correspond with the successful multifunctional fish pond farms described by Bekefi and Varadi (2007), providing greater benefits than traditional monoculture farms. It is technically feasible and economically viable to apply the techniques used in the multicultural system to other similar ponds in the High Lerma Basin.…”

Sustainable development is a process in which present and future human needs can be satisfied without degrading the socio-environmental systems that they rely upon. Inland wetlands are diverse ecosystems that provide numerous goods and services. Current wetland evaluation methodologies include inventories, monitoring of hydrological and climatic variables, population dynamic studies, mechanistic models, the use of geographical information systems, and measuring of biotic indices. Sustainability evaluation methods, which combine in a systemic approach production efficiency, ecosystem function, environmental services, and social values are required. In this study, a methodological framework was developed and applied to a case in the High Lerma River Basin in Central Mexico. Criteria and indicators comprising the environmental, economic, and social dimensions, as well as systemic attributes such as productivity, stability, resilience, selfreliance, and equity were derived and measured to evaluate wetland management systems. Native species were compared to the predominant carp monoculture system. Results from the evaluated indicators showed that the native species multicultural management system can be a feasible, profitable, and self-reliant conservation and utilization alternative. Some difficulties were faced in finding reliable estimates to be used as reference values, and potential indicators for future, long-term evaluations are proposed. The application of sustainability indicators to wetland management proved to be an objective and trustworthy methodological alternative, which could increase both wetland sustainability and the continuous development of integrated assessment tools for its evaluation.

“…The implementation of environmentally sensitive farming practices is financially encouraged by Axis 2 of the European Fisheries Fund 2007-2013(Council Regulation No 1198/2006. The demand for multifunctionality in pond aquaculture may be necessary for the economic survival of many carp farms, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, since the economic benefits from the production of cyprinids have decreased in recent years (Aps et al 2004;Bekefi and Varadi 2007). However, non-aquaculture services often require the preservation of high environmental and aesthetic quality of the ponds' landscape and direct surroundings, while the ecosystem-based approach (sensu Soto et al 2008) and profit-oriented, intensive fish farming are not necessarily compatible.…”

Differential effects of age-structured common carp (Cyprinus carpio) stocks on pond invertebrate communities: implications for recreational and wildlife use of farm ponds

Sustainable development of common carp Cyprinus carpio pond fisheries in Europe postulates their multifunctional use, integrating exploitation of aquaculture resources with recreational services and maintenance of high levels of local biodiversity. Age classes of farmed carp are grown separately and pond ecosystems may be differently affected by different ontogenetic stages of fish. To examine these relationships, a study was conducted on spring and summer diet of carp, invertebrate abundance and community structure, and water quality characteristics in ponds stocked with three carp age classes in SE Poland. With the exception of young-of-the-year fish in spring, benthic dipterans prevailed in the diets of all carp age classes and their consumption increased from spring to summer. Zooplankton featured in the diet of carp only in spring. Medium-and large-sized cladocerans predominated among microcrustaceans found in the guts of one-and two-yearold carp. Consequently, in summer, total biomass of medium-and large-sized cladoceran grazers was substantially lower in ponds stocked with older-age fish than in ponds used for production of 1-summer-old fingerlings. The relatively sparse submerged vegetation cover and low water transparency in ponds with older fish stocks compared to ponds with youngof-the-year carp indicate a transition to a turbid water state mediated by a trophic cascade mechanism in the presence of older-age fish. Densities of water-column macroinvertebrates decreased with the age of carp in the ponds. These results suggest that non-aquaculture use of carp ponds should be diversified according to their environmental quality. Fingerling rearing ponds are more suitable for environmentally friendly multifunctional use than ponds with older stocks.

“…In traditional European carp farming, carp ponds are embedded in the landscape and are natural habitats of a large number of aquatic organisms (Bekefi & Varadi 2007). This includes the presence of a wide range of amphibians, water birds and fish from protected species.…”

Infections of common carp Cyprinus carpio and koi, its coloured morphotypes, with the cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) can induce severe clinical signs and increased mortality in affected stocks. This may significantly challenge the economic basis of carp farming in Central Europe. To limit virus spread in carp farms, effective disinfection measures for ponds stocked with infected populations are required. In the traditional European pond aquaculture of carp, draining and liming of ponds with quicklime (CaO) up to pH 12 is a well-established disinfection measure against various pathogens. The present field study investigated whether these measures are sufficient for the inactivation of CyHV-3 infectivity in carp ponds. After draining and liming, the ponds were stocked with carp fry from a CyHV-3-negative stock, and 2 ponds were examined for the presence of CyHV-3-specific DNA sequences during the growth period of the carp and in the harvested stock. Wild fish (from the ponds, and feeder and drainage canals) and water samples (from the ponds) were also examined for CyHV-3-specific DNA sequences; and naïve carp were cohabited with wild fish, or exposed to the pondwater samples, to test for the presence of infectious virus. All examined samples remained negative for CyHV-3 throughout the study. This indicates that draining and liming with quicklime can be a suitable disinfection measure for ponds after a CyHV-3 outbreak in carp aquaculture.
