The news came from the Secretary of the Field of the State of Mexicowho pointed out that in the Tiacaque Aquaculture Center were produced more than 40 million carp a year. This site, located in Jocotitlán, took advantage of the fact that this fish is capable of laying one hundred times more eggs than other varieties such as tilapia or trout. The information never ceases to surprise us, in a country like Argentina where the species has gained followers in sports, but has not yet grown in gastronomy.
According to the note on the Antena 125 portal, in this Center the carp reproduce during the spring and summer periods in different batches, as they grow and, when they reach a good size and are ready to reproduce, they are placed in a pond. 40 females that spawn and 60 males that inseminate the eggs. These, once inoculated, adhere to a mosquito net where after five or seven days they hatch. The numbers speak for themselves. A female in said pond is capable of laying between 100 to 200 thousand eggs in one spawning, hence In a week 2 million fry could be born of carp with a survival margin of 80 to 90 percent. In Tiacaque, the goal is to produce 46.6 million carp of three species: Barrigona, Tata and Espejo or Israel, which are valued for their nutritional value and low price. This center is recognized nationally for being the largest producer of baby carp, which has positioned the state of Mexico as the first national place in production of the species in recent years.
In Mexico, producers have found added value to sell eggs for up to 120 pesos per kilo, since they are used to prepare various dishes in restaurants. Records on the cultivation of cyprinids, a group of fish to which carp belong, go back more than two thousand years, and in this Aztec country, it began in the mid-19th century, with the introduction of the common carp from Europe. Subsequently, other imports were made by the federal government with the aim of improving the quality of the protein diet and providing jobs in rural populations.
