A master's thesis at the University of Basra comparing common carp in natural and farmed waters

A master's thesis at the University of Basra's College of Agriculture compared some phenotypic and numerical traits of common carp in natural and farmed waters.

The thesis, submitted by master's student Raed Abdulwahid Hamza, aims to find out the extent to which the environment and farming systems affect the condition of the fish as well as some of their phenotypic traits.

The thesis concluded that the Fulton condition coefficient of cage-cultured fish was higher than that of mud pond fish and natural water fish, in addition to the fact that phenotypic traits are affected by the environment in which they live.
