Abstract

Bighead carp (Aristich thys nobilis) was introduced in the Philippines by Chinese experts commissioned by the Philippine Fisheries Commission (NIFRC, undated). In 1966-67, culture trials were successful and in 1968, im portation began to launch the Philippines’ Freedom from Hunger campaign involving carp farming and polyculture of freshwater fishes. The bighead carp, as its name suggests, has a big head and a short and blunt snout. On its dorsal and upper portions, yellowish black blotches are scattered. The carp is a zooplankton feeder and spends its life in freshwaters. It naturally spawns in river mouths. In its native habitat, subtropical and temperate China, the carp breeds only once a year.
