Abstract
In this paper are presented the results of the growth parameters for the carp population. The study was realized in the 2006-2009 period on a total number of 367 carp specimens caught into the Danube river km 170-196 (the arms: Cravia, Calia, and Fundu Mare Island). In order to estimate the population growth characteristic of the carp population the following relationship was determined: length - weight (L-W) using equation W= a * L[sup]b[/sup]. The value of the coefficient b indicates an allometric increase, meaning the length increases faster than weight. Moreover, the good value of this coefficient, considered also as a condition factor (b = 2.845), shows us good growth conditions for this species in the researched area. Estimation of the growth parameters (von Bertalanffy) L[sub]∞[/sub], k, t[sub]o[/sub], led to obtaining of comparable values with other nearby regions carp populations.
