Labeo fimbriatus is a medium-sized carp species from Southeast Asia. He was synonymous as Cyprinus fimbriatus , Cirrhinus fimbriatus or Rohita fimbriata described. In English it is called the Fringed-Lipped Peninsula Carp, in India it is called Tambir, வெண் கென்டை, Chenchundan or Gondumano.

distribution and habitat

Labeo fimbriatus is native to Pakistan , India , Nepal , Myanmar and Bangladesh . In India it is native to the Cauvery , Godavari and Krishna rivers. It is also frequently found in the border area with Nepal, in Sindh , Punjab , Orissa , southern India with the exception of the Malabar and Kanara regions . It can also be found in the brackish water of the coastal region of Kerala , Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh . It lives in rivers and flood reservoirs, but can also be kept in artificially created ponds. If there is a lot of weeds in the water and there is heavy vegetation, it will find ideal living conditions.

description

Labeo fimbriatus is similar in habit to a European white fish . He has two short pairs of barbels. Its fin formula is: dorsal 15–18, anal 5. The fish grow very quickly, often reaching a length of 20 centimeters in the first year and 30 centimeters in the second. The animals can reach a maximum length of 90 centimeters. The largest fish caught weighed 25 kilograms.

Way of life

Labeo fimbriatus is predominantly herbivorous , feeds on diatoms , blue and green algae , higher aquatic plants, but also on insects and detritus in the water. In the mountains of the Western Ghats , the spawning season of this species of fish coincides with the beginning of the southwest monsoon .

use

In India, Labeo fimbriatus is used as a food fish. Labeo fimbriatus is kept in extensive pond farms together with other carp species, where the fish can mostly reproduce naturally. It was found that the productivity in the production of Labeo fimbriatus in aquaculture could be increased significantly by adding organic substances such as sugar cane bagasse .
