Abstract
Few if any species of finfish reproduce naturally in conditions of intensive culture. This may be presumed to be a result of intensivism because goldfish will reproduce in garden ponds, and many species of tropical ornamentals will reproduce in tanks, in both cases the livemass of fish per unit volume of water being less than economic for food production. Carp would have spawned naturally in the ponds of mediaeval monasteries but their keepers would not have faced the economic constraints of modern fish farmers and it may be assumed that the monks used low stocking densities.
