| Cyprinus carpio | Female | Onset of oogenesis | October | ['October'] |
| Cyprinus carpio | Female | Intensifying oogenesis activity | A dramatic growth is observed in April | ['April'] |
| Cyprinus carpio | Female | Maximum GSI value | Mean of 28%, up to 30% [June] | 28.0 percent |
| Cyprinus carpio | Female | Resting period | July and august are a quiescent period of gonadal activity; a stage of regeneration | 2.0 months |
| Cyprinus carpio | Male | Onset of spermatogenesis | August | ['August'] |
| Cyprinus carpio | Male | Main spermatogenesis activity | August-September, then increase slowly until March | ['March', 'August', 'September'] |
| Cyprinus carpio | Male | Maximum GSI value | Mean of 8.2, up to 9.2 [Beginning of April] | 8.2 percent |
| Cyprinus carpio | Male | Spermatogenesis duration | Although the spermatogenesis is continuous there is a male gonadal cycle which increases in September and decreases around May | 3.0 months |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning season | The spawning of carp in the Camargue begins in March and ens generally in August: for Europe this is the longest known spawing period | ['March', 'August'] |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning period duration | Duration of spanwing of carp from different areas: March to August [Camargue, France], Mid-March to August [scutari Lake, Y.U.], Mid-April to July [Terek delta, U.S.S.R], Mid-April to August [Danube Delta, Rou.], May to July [St-Lawrence Lake, Canada], May-June [South Dakota, U.S.A] | No data |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | A temperature around15-16°C | 15.5 °C |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning temperature | Minimum temperature 15-16 [Camargue, France]; 15.5-17 [Scutari Lake], 17 [Terek delta], 16-18 [St-Lawrence, Lake, Canada], 16.6-20 [South dakota, U.S.A.] | 15.5 °C |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning water type | A shallow flooded area | No category |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning depth | Shallow areas | No data |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Spawning substrate | Abundant and fixed vegetation (macrophytes, red or even in the Camargue sansouire) | Phytophils |
| Cyprinus carpio | Spawning conditions | Nycthemeral period of oviposition | Spawning occurred mainly early in the morning until 10.00 hours, although some carp were observed just before the sunset | Day |
