Fish is an important part of human nutrition, with high biological value, easily digestible, without unfavourable effects to human health. Fish consumption is expected to increase by at least 20% in the next years. Increasing the amount of fish meat can be achieved by intensive aquaculture. The current paper presents a comparative analysis of the results obtained in the intensive growth in floating cages of juvenile carp intended for human consumption at different growth densities. As a result of the experiment, fish that grow at a density of less than 15 kg/m3 have a lower feed conversion ratio and a higher weekly average growth rate than carp raised at a density higher than 15 kg/m3.
