Abstract

A review is provided of length–length relationships (LLR) for common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) at the global scale. In total, 16 studies were retrieved from a comprehensive literature search that provided LLR for C. carpio populations from 26 water bodies consisting of rivers, lakes and reservoirs across nine countries in four continents. There was large variation in LLR, which were available for all six possible combinations of total, fork and standard length, due to the wide range of fish sizes measured. This is the first study that provides LLR for C. carpio that can be used as a reference base for future age-growth and population dynamics studies on this species.
