Synopsis (short abstract) FAO has always played a leading role in the publication of practice-oriented technical papers and training materials on fisheries and fish cultures. One of the objectives of producing this huge wealth of ready-to-use technical information is to support the sustainable development of fish production all over the world. Following these principles, two very successful, richly illustrated practical technical guides were produced in the mid-1980s on the mass production of eggs, early fry,1 advanced f ry and fingerlings of common carp. Owing to profound political, social and economic changes, the production of fish ponds and small water reservoirs in many countries of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA) has declined considerably in recent decades. In order to restart and increase carp production in these regions, hands-on training courses supported with handouts has proved useful in the practical training and self-education of concerned and interested f ish farmers. The present handout builds on fish seed production of carps, an earlier FAO publication.2 The original watercolour illustrations used in this publication are the work of László Horváth, father of the senior author. Although the set of these pictures is practically complete, in order to prepare an even more understandable technical reference, additional black and white illustrations of another publications, as well as tables and texts, have been inserted where sources were correctly indexed and listed under References.
