This succulent fish grows rapidly and has a high feed conversion rate. Over 50% of the total aquaculture production of carp in China has now converted to Jian carp. [11] [15] By 2004, the induced breeding of carp had been so effective that the carp industry amounted to 46 percent of the total aquaculture output. [12]
In 2010, China accounted for 60% of global aquaculture production (by volume) and had ~14 million people (26% of the world total) engaged as fishers and fish farmers (FAO).
