The role of Antoninsko-Zozulenets carp in selective breeding in Ukraine (a review)

Purpose.In the last decade, due to increasing requirements for providing the Ukrainian population with the most valuable dietary food products, the importance of aquaculture has increased significantly. At the same time, an increase in the amounts of cultured fish as well as other agricultural products is possible only through the introduction of highly productive objects of cultivation using economically feasible technologies. Therefore, in today's conditions, domestic breeders are conducting active selective breeding and scientific work with carp resulting in the approval of the Antoninsko-Zozulenets intrabreed type of the Ukrainian framed and scaly breeds. Findings.The authors of the work reviewed and analyzed the specialized scientific literature on the historical aspects of the development of carp breeding in Ukraine, and the role of the Antoninsko-Zozulenets carp in the selective breeding work. In particular, the genetic composition of scaly and framed carp, the breeding schemes of new intrabreed types, and the proportion of Antoninsko-Zozulenets carp blood in them were analyzed. Practical value.The conducted review of literary sources can be useful for the preparation of lecture material during the educational process of training specialists in the specialty 207 “Aquatic bioresources and aquaculture”, in particular, specialists in ichthyology and zoology.
