A comparative study on the early development of grass carp, black carp,
silver carp, and big head of the Yangtze River, p.
On the other hand,
silver carp and bigheads are very soft fish, so you can get by with a 25-pound draw weight,--a real advantage if you have to stay at full draw when the silvers are hopping.

silver carp (hypophthalmichthys molitrix) during frozen storage," Food Science and Technology Research, vol.
At relatively low densities, the
silver carp were able to graze for particles of food directly, resulting in a decline in phosphorus and chlorophylla levels within the Lake Taihu enclosures [25].
Raw
silver carp fillets were showed considerable amounts of palmitic (21.37 [+ or -] 1.12%), stearic (10.49 [+ or -] 0.66%), palmitoleic (2.57 [+ or -] 0.09%), oleic (21.37 [+ or -] 1.12%), linoleic (3.80 [+ or -] 0.29%), linolenic (0.96 [+ or -] 0.83%), arachidonic (9.83 [+ or -] 0.42%), eicosapentaenoic (6.45 [+ or -] 0.65%) and docosahexaenoic (8.73 [+ or -] 1.63%) acids (Table 2).
the molitrix skin harbours extremely low methionine content; the authors also considered collagen from
silver carp skin as type I.

Fish were provided by a regional fry producer, with an average weight and standard deviation of 22.8 [+ or -] 4.3 g for grass carp, 32.7 [+ or -] 9.0 g for common carp, 33.6 [+ or -] 10.3 g for bighead carp and 3.5 [+ or -] 0.9 g for
silver carp. Fish were stocked in the ponds in November 2004 and the growth experiment lasted 28 weeks (196 days).
Although the Illinois River gets much of the press for jumping
silver carp, the shallower Wabash may be an even better bowfishing destination.
The fungal infection observed in
silver carp probably occurred through the use of unhygienic and contaminated feed given to fish in pond.
Considering the management practices at hatcheries, the present study is designed to report the status of whole body cortisol and protein contents in eggs (unfertilized and fertilized), embryos and larvae of
silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, artificially bred at local fish hatchery.
