Carp is a warm-water fish, and its spawning season usually depends on water temperature and light conditions. Generally speaking, the ovulation season of carp depends on geographical location and climate changes. The following is a detailed description of the carp spawning season:
Spring: Spring is the main season for carp to spawn. Generally speaking, carp begin to enter the breeding period when the water temperature is between 15-20 degrees Celsius. In some areas, carp usually begin to prepare to spawn between March and May. The water temperature and light conditions in this season will stimulate female fish to ovulate and male fish to produce sperm, creating suitable conditions for reproduction.
Summer: In some areas, carp may also spawn for a second or even third time in summer. This usually depends on the temperature and nutrient status of the water. When temperatures and food are sufficient, some carp will continue to reproduce and even lay additional eggs in the summer or early fall.
Water temperature and light: The key factor for carp spawning is water temperature and light. Normally, warm water fish such as carp start spawning when the water temperature steadily warms up. Sunny days close to the vernal equinox are often a more suitable spawning season for carp.
Overall, carp's spawning season is usually concentrated in the spring, but they may also engage in additional spawning in the summer under suitable temperature and nutrient conditions. However, this situation will vary in different regions and environments, and carp in some regions may have slightly different reproductive cycles.
