Abstract:

In comparison to barbel Barbus barbus in their natural, riverine environment, the growth performance of cultured barbel, following introduction into stillwater environments, was depressed when the extant stock density was above 500 kg ha-1 and common carp Cyprinus carpio were present. © 2004 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.
