| Abstract | ||||
| The common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) belongs to the class Osteichthyes, order Cypriniformes, and family Cyprinidae, which is considered the largest group of freshwater fish. Common carp are cultivated in over 100 countries worldwide, with a global production of approximately 4 million metric tons in 2020. This accounts for 8.6% of the annual global aquaculture output, ranking fourth after Oreochromis niloticus (The Nile tilapia), Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp), and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp). The present article reviews research conducted over the past ten years on common carp nutrition and cultivation in Iraq. These studies include eleven investigations on cultivation systems and locations, six studies on stocking densities and fish size, and twenty studies focused on feeding practices. Additionally, ten studies addressed feed replacement strategies, forty explored the use of feed additives, and fourteen examined fish anesthesia, parasites, and diseases. | ||||
