This study evaluated the morphometric characteristics and growth patterns of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) reared in three fish farms of the Tashkent region. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the relationships among total length, standard length, and body weight. The findings revealed differences in growth performance and morphometric traits among the farms. The results provide a scientific basis for broodstock selection and improving the efficiency of pond aquaculture under regional farming conditions.
