There might be the following reasons why the silver carp floated on the surface of the water: 1. ** Water Quality ** - ** Water Poisoning **: When toxic substances in the water are produced from the bottom of the water, the silver carp will swim to the surface of the water with a lower concentration of toxic substances in order to avoid harm. In this case, they may float on the surface. For example, in some fertile water cultivation waters where chicken manure was added, the input was too large and the water quality was not adjusted. This situation might occur when water body turbulence occurred. - ** The water is rich in organic matter and consumes oxygen **: If unfermented feces and urine are discharged into the pond, these substances will naturally consume a large amount of dissolved oxygen, causing the silver carp to float. - ** Hypoxia **: The lack of oxygen will cause the silver carp to float to the surface of the water, but it must be distinguished from poisoning. For example, one could turn on the breather and see how many fish surrounded the breather. If the fish were not near the breather, it might not be a simple lack of oxygen. 2. ** Disease factor ** - ** Rotten gills **: If the gills of a fish have rotten gills, it will affect the dissolved oxygen in the water to enter the body through the small gills, causing the fish to float on the surface of the water. Rotten gills could be caused by parasites, such as the wheel worm, or it could be caused by fungi or bacteria. 3. ** Meteorological factors **: For example, cliff-like cooling and other meteorological factors may cause a large number of wild silver carp to float to the surface. 4. [Human factors: In some cases, such as Xichong's Jiulongtan claiming that the silver carp were of the quality of evolution water, but they were secretly salvaged. Human factors such as disturbance during the salvaging process could also cause the silver carp to float on the surface.] The novel " Watching the Moon on Fish Island " is equally exciting.

Silver carp had a certain tenacity. On the one hand, even if the silver carp was cut open and placed there, its heartbeat would still maintain a very slow beat, which indicated that it had a certain vitality. In a dead ditch with ten to twenty big silver carp weighing more than ten catties, they could be caught in a specific way without sucking up the water, which also implied that they could still survive in a relatively harsh environment. There were also fishing friends who caught silver carp and bighead carp with 84 hooks and fishing gear all over their bodies. They could still bite the bait with wounds all over their bodies and still survive after many fishing lines were cut off. These situations reflected the tenacity of the silver carp. On the other hand, silver carp had very weak vitality after coming out of the water and were easy to die. This made the silver carp sold often "turn over their white belly". Even if some of them were not dead, they did not look fresh. Moreover, silver carp had weak vitality during transportation and were not easy to transport over long distances, making it difficult to see silver carp in some regional markets.

The toxicity of silver carp mainly came from its internal organs, such as gills, liver, kidneys, etc. These parts contained a toxic substance called thianate. Its fish gall was very toxic, just like the fish gall of big-headed fish and carp. The gall poison mainly damaged the kidneys, liver, heart, brain and other tissues. In serious cases, it could cause death. Eating uncooked silver carp meat may cause a toxic reaction. improper cooking methods, rusty cooking utensils, or fish meat that has been preserved for a long time may lead to the accumulation of toxins in the meat. After eating, the patient may experience dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms. In severe cases, symptoms such as high blood pressure, breathlessness, or foaming at the mouth may also occur. The novel " Watching the Moon on Fish Island " is equally exciting.

Silver carp could be raised. Under the conditions of pond culture, if there was enough food, the fish could grow to 500 - 800 grams in the year, and the weight of the three-year-old fish could reach 3 - 4 kilograms. There are certain requirements for the stocking of its fry. In the middle and late May, when the water temperature in the pool is stable above 18 ° C, it is suitable to put in the silver carp, and the density is 3 - 5 fish per square meter. In terms of feeding and management, after the fish entered the pond, they mainly fed on the zooplanks and feed scraps. When the adult fish are cultivated, the size of the overwintered fish is 100 - 200g/fish, and the stocking density is 0.4 - 0.5 fish/m2. There were also corresponding standards for overwinter management. For example, the overwinter density was generally 0.3 - 0.6 kg/m2, and the overwinter pond should be relatively clean and have good water conservation. At the same time, it should be noted that the ability of silver carp to withstand low oxygen is extremely poor. If there is no oxygen in the water, they will immediately float to the surface, and some will die very quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to always open the breather and regularly use products such as Zhongbangbang Jiuyang that can improve water quality and increase oxygen. Silver carp belonged to the category of inter-cultured fish, which could be inter-cultured in ponds that mainly raised carp, Crucian carp, grass carp, and blunt bream. The pond selection and water quality requirements were basically the same as that of the main carp. In addition, the seedlings must be inspected and quarantine before they are released. The seedlings must be of pure quality, healthy, and neat. The novel "Watching the Moon on Fish Island" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
According to wikipedia, the adult size of silver carp was generally 60 - 100 cm, the largest individual could grow to 140 cm, and the largest weight was about 100 pounds. According to the domestic fishing data, in the artificial breeding environment (including stocking), large silver carp weighing about 50 jin were very rare, and even rarer were those weighing more than 60 jin. However, the world's largest silver carp was caught in Spain. It weighed 206 pounds, which was 93 kilograms after conversion. A farm in Zhangjiajie, China, had also caught silver carp weighing 100 pounds and 1.5 meters long. The novel "Watching the Moon on Fish Island" is equally exciting.

The Biography of Zhang Han in the Book of Jin records: "When Zhang Han saw the autumn wind rising, he thought of the wild vegetables, water shield soup and sea bass in Wuzhong.

Well, there could be a few reasons. Maybe the water is very calm and he's just lying on his back and staying afloat naturally. Or perhaps he's using some kind of inflatable toy or raft to stay up.
Under normal circumstances, silver carp could live up to 15 years, but this was only under good natural or breeding conditions. If it was artificial breeding, for commercial purposes, the silver carp might be sold after about three years of breeding, and the lifespan was only about three years. Moreover, silver carp in the wild may be affected by environmental pollution or other unsuitable environmental factors, thus shortening their lifespan.

The growth rate of silver carp was affected by many factors, such as water temperature, feed, breeding density, etc. From 2 - 3 years old, the weight can increase from 1 kg to 4 kg. The fastest weight increase is from 3 - 6 years old, and then it will slow down. The largest individual can reach 40 kg. However, it was difficult to determine exactly how many years the silver carp had grown based on its weight of 20 jin (10 kg). It might take 3 - 6 years or longer.

The lifespan of silver carp was affected by many factors. Under normal circumstances, the average life expectancy of silver carp was 7 - 8 years. When it was not affected by human factors, its life expectancy could be longer, even reaching 20 - 30 years. Under some better breeding or wild conditions, the lifespan of silver carp could reach about 10 years, and some could live longer. However, artificially raised silver carp were usually sold after about three years of cultivation, so their lifespan was about three years. At the same time, wild silver carp may also shorten their lifespan due to environmental pollution or unsuitable environmental factors.
