When do carp start foraging all year round?

Spring and late autumn. The digestive function of carp is closely related to the water temperature, and its feeding is seasonal.

Winter is basically in a semi-dormant state, and body fat is exhausted in winter. Spring is coming, and it is eager to eat high-protein food to supplement it.

In late autumn and winter, in order to accumulate fat, there will also be a peak period of foraging, mainly high-protein bait.

Carp is a benthic omnivorous fish that eats both meat and vegetables. The bait spectrum is wide, the snout bone is developed, and it often feeds on mud. Carp is also a low-temperature animal, and its body temperature changes with the change of water temperature, so it does not need to consume energy to maintain a constant body temperature, so the total amount of bait intake is not large. At the same time, carp, like most freshwater fish, belongs to a kind of fish without stomach, with short intestine and fast metabolism, so its feeding habit is to eat less and eat more.

Living habits

Although carp is a benthic fish, it does not mean that its active area remains unchanged. Seasonal changes, water temperature changes. Changes in wind direction, air pressure, horizon, water quality, water flow, water level fluctuation, dissolved oxygen in water, prey environment, etc. , will change the activity area of fish at any time, so that they are often active to a large extent. If they are in a large area of water, this is called "migration". Compared with other freshwater fish, carp has the same habits and special habits. These habits are mainly determined by the needs of reproduction, feeding and aerobic survival.
