Why the F1 strain of carp was ever concieved and why it was stocked into so may commercial ponds in Engand?
Essentially to please commercial match anglers since they feed all year round and grow quickly but not too big for classical match techniques, I guess.
Family size ?
'Compact', please!Family size ?
I believe they can't breed either so if they get into the wild rivers, when they die, that's it, no succession.
Good point.Thats why the grow quick, no need to expend energy producing egg/milt and then knocking the hell out of each other whilst spawning.
And that untimately they would want all fish to be identical in size, say just swingable to hand and preferably have zero fighting power.
However, don't try to make out that it and matchmen are something that they aren't.
