Abstract
Weight-length relationships (WLRs), Fulton’s K condition factor and the size structure were investigated for common carp Cyprinus carpio (Linne, 1758) collected from Bițina 3 Pond – a freshwater ecosystem used for recreational fishing, located 40 km away from Bucharest. Negative allometric growth was estimated for common carp as: TW = 0.0563xTL
