Despite the worldwide economic importance of carp (Cyprinus carpio L) culture, which is carried out by the application of all known production systems (using earth ponds, plastic or concrete tanks, net cages, recirculated water systems), there is no published information related to the physiological responses of this species caused by different rearing background colors.
The present study has been designed to evaluate the effects of long-term adaptation to black, green and white background on growth performances and physiological responses of scaled carp under certain experimental conditions using a recirculated water system,
