CATLA FISH

Catla catla fish, also identified as Indian Carp and is the merely member of the genus Catla, of the carp family Cyprinidae. Catla is a fish with a large protruding lower jaw.

Catla fish is omnivorous and will eat insects, plankton and any other mixed biological material that is floating on the surface of the water. During monsoon season, usually May until August depending on the region, the fish will participate in its seeding migration, moving towards shallow waters. Catla fish is typically a surface-dwelling fish, and needs very warm waters in the 64 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 28 Celsius) range. The minimum tolerance temperature limit is ~14 °C. The total of the body of Catla fish is Greyish on back and flanks, silvery-white below fins dusky. Catla fish’s most recognizable feature is its large lower jaw which forces its lower lip to be upturned, covering its mouth. It is harmless to humans.

The Catla fish is a common and well-accepted food fish in India, and has been introduced to ponds and other bodies of water for farming purposes. Several times Catla is introduced in fish farms with multiple carp species, as it eats the organic material that floats on the surface of the water that most other fish will not. The Catla fish is generally harvested when it weighs 2 to 4 pounds and is then sent off to local markets where it is sold fresh. Customers generally wish to buy catla to be large 1-2 kg.

GLASS CARP FISH

The grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is a herbivorous, freshwater fish species of family Cyprinidae, and the only species of the genus Ctenopharyngodon. It is cultivated in China for food, but was introduced in Europe and the United States for aquatic weed control (see, e.g., Ponchatoula Creek). It is a large cyprind native to eastern Asia, with a native range from northern Vietnam to the Amur River on the Siberia-China border. It is a fish of large, turbid rivers and associated floodplain lakes, with a wide degree of temperature tolerance. Grass carp will enter reproductive condition and spawn at temperatures of 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F).

Grass carp have elongate, chubby, torpedo-shaped body forms. The terminal mouth is slightly oblique with non-fleshy, firm lips, and no barbels. The complete lateral line contains 40 to 42 scales. Broad, ridged, pharyngeal teeth are arranged in a 2, 4-4, 2 formula. The dorsal fin has 8 to 10 soft rays, and the anal fin is set closer to the tail than most cyprinids. Body color is dark olive, shading to brownish-yellow on the sides, with a white belly and large, slightly outlined scales.

The grass carp grows very rapidly. Young fish stocked in the spring at 20 centimetres (7.9 in) will reach over 45 centimetres (18 in) by fall, and adults often attain nearly 1.2 metres (3.9 ft) in length and over 18 kilograms (40 lb) in weight. According to one study, they live an average of five to 9 years, with the oldest surviving 11 years. They eat up to three times their own body weight daily.
